About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with young adults and others on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, addiction, grief and major life changes. She also offers support around career questions and motivation challenges.
Louise uses a person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building a respectful working relationship. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or find momentum when stuck.
In practical terms sessions usually involve listening, reflecting and helping people to set small, realistic steps forward. Conversations are aimed at making difficult problems easier to manage day to day. She works with people dealing with parenting stress, eating concerns, anger, and ADHD-related struggles as listed in her focus areas.
Clients who are navigating life transitions often find it helpful to talk through priorities and next steps. Louise can help with questions about career direction, loneliness, family strain, and the aftermath of trauma or bereavement. She also supports those dealing with long-term health challenges and communication problems.
Practical arrangements such as session length and fees are handled through the service booking flow. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and format preferences.
How Louise works online and her approaches
Louise draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to sessions. Sessions aim to be person-led, with the counsellor reflecting back what matters and helping clients clarify their own priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a conversational, respectful space to think things through.She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative way of talking that helps people identify their own reasons for change. It is often used when someone feels stuck with habits, motivation or making decisions about work, relationships or health. This method supports setting small, practical steps that feel doable.
Finding the right way of working is part of the first few sessions. The counsellor will work with the client to agree which approach fits their goals and preferences. That decision is made together, and can be reviewed as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and other commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and let people join from wherever they are based in the UK. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these ways of working, and Louise will discuss practical arrangements during the initial booking steps.
