About Louise

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people who are struggling with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem and motivation. Louise also supports those facing grief, trauma, addiction and life changes.

She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s perspective central. That means conversations are guided by the person in front of her rather than a fixed script. Louise pairs that with motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change or to stick with new habits.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and then helps break problems down into manageable steps. Practical talk about everyday patterns is common - for example, how frustration builds at work or around family roles, and what small changes might help. She avoids technical language and explains ideas in plain terms.

Louise is clear that starting therapy is a steady process. Early sessions often focus on understanding current difficulties and agreeing simple goals. Later work can include checking progress, adjusting approaches and planning for setbacks in a straightforward way.

Her practice follows the BACP Ethical Framework and treats clients with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the UK. Prospective clients are asked to use the site booking flow to match and schedule their first meeting.

How her approaches work online

Louise uses client-centred work and motivational interviewing online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs to clarify feelings, values or priorities and prefers a conversational pace. Motivational Interviewing looks for internal reasons to change and uses gentle questioning to resolve mixed feelings about change. It is useful for problems like addiction, low motivation or stuck patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan together rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity between meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions helpful for maintaining steady progress while juggling everyday life.
