About Louise

Louise Fielder is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and supports those coping with self-harm thoughts and low self-esteem. Louise also lists a range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and career pressures.

She uses an integrated approach combining Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this means listening to how someone describes their difficulties, and then working together on small, practical steps to make life more manageable. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people understand and manage strong emotions.

Louise describes work on bereavement and loss, including loss through suicide, and on traumatic experiences. She also mentions supporting people with bipolar, compassion fatigue and complex issues like attachment or adoption and foster care histories. The emphasis is on steady, practical support rather than quick fixes.

Her sessions aim to help people spot patterns in their thinking and behaviour and try simple strategies to change them. She focuses on what a person wants to achieve and keeps sessions goal-oriented when that helps. Louise encourages questions about process and methods, and explains how her counselling can fit someone’s needs.

If you are unsure whether to book, she asks people to start by checking the online options and completing a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. This helps to clarify what to expect and how the counselling will move forward.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting your experience back so you can better understand your feelings and choices; it suits people who need space to talk without judgement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses simple exercises to test and change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of past traumatic events and uses gradual, stabilising work to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different approaches and together you will decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening-based sessions and then using more practical exercises, or blending techniques from different models as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into study, work or busy days because they cut out travel, can be shorter for quick check-ins, and make it easier to attend when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt sessions to suit a quieter time of day, less bandwidth, or a preference for talking rather than being on camera.
