About Louise

Louise Guidon is a person centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in local counselling agencies, at a college as a counsellor, and with a national children's charity providing wellbeing support to children, young people and parents. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and anger among other issues.

Louise helps people talk through difficult feelings in straightforward language. Sessions focus on what the client brings each week and on practical ways to manage strong emotions. She aims to make conversations easy to follow and to keep the session focused on immediate problems and next steps.

Her background before training included supporting adults with housing and mental health needs. That practical experience informs the way she approaches problems such as coping with life changes, parenting strain, and career stress. It also shapes how she supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, ADHD, and chronic illness.

In practice she uses person centred methods, which means she listens carefully and responds to the client's perspective rather than imposing a fixed programme. That approach fits work on self-esteem, intimacy concerns, resentment, and impulsivity. It also guides work on forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

People who choose Louise should expect calm, direct conversations about what is going on now. She asks practical questions, helps clarify goals, and supports simple strategies to manage overwhelming feelings. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How Louise uses person centred work online

Person centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. The counsellor follows the client's lead, helping to clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is commonly used for issues like anger, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem because it centres on the client's experience rather than a fixed set of exercises.

Louise applies straightforward person centred methods to help people make sense of strong emotions and to decide practical next steps. She will work with each client to identify which parts of counselling feel most helpful, and adjust the way sessions run as needed. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and daily life shape the plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if that suits a lunch break or a tight schedule. It can also let a person avoid being on camera when they prefer to speak without video. Registered or accredited professionals and other therapists often use these practical benefits to help clients keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
