About Louise
Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the BACP. Louise works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family problems, grief and loss, and low self-esteem.
Before qualifying she provided support to adults in housing and mental health services. She has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor. She also provides wellbeing support for children, young people and parents through a national charity and recently established a face-to-face private practice.
Louise uses a person-centred approach, focusing on the client's perspective and what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and client-led, with the counsellor reflecting what is said and helping people clarify their thoughts. This style can suit people dealing with stress, relationship struggles, grieving, and major life changes.
She has supported people with a wide range of difficulties including trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty, depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she has worked with include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, and separation after divorce.
Louise aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be discussed without judgement. She will listen to what a person brings and help them work out practical steps and ways of coping that fit their life and goals.
Person-centred approach and online sessions
Person-centred therapy focuses on the individual's experience and how they make sense of their life. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person explore their feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship issues and coping with major life changes.Because Louise works in a person-centred way, the emphasis is on the client's priorities and pace. She will collaborate with each person to identify what matters, what goals to set and how to try different ways of coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-off decision.
The original biography does not specify the exact online session formats she uses, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel and may suit people who need a shorter check-in or prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to help clients keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
