About Louise
Louise Guidon practises using a person-centred approach to counselling. She offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Louise is a BACP member, which appears as BACP in her credentials, and she brings four years of professional experience to her work.
People come to her for stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and family tensions, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem.
How Louise works
Other concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stresses, anger and career worries. Her wider focus covers a range of life challenges. These include compassion fatigue, ADHD, issues linked to abandonment and attachment, ageing and geriatric concerns, and caregiver stress.
Louise also works with people affected by chronic pain, disability, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Her earlier background involved supporting adults with housing and mental health needs. That experience informed her practical, down-to-earth style when helping people untangle difficult situations.
Louise aims to listen without judgement and to respond to each person as an individual. Sessions can be arranged in several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions to suit their situation.
Louise emphasises small steps and steady progress over time.

Online support options
Person-centred care online and how it helps
Person-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens deeply and reflects what is said, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and self-esteem concerns because it focuses on what the person wants to explore.In practice the counsellor uses empathic listening and an accepting stance to encourage people to find their own solutions. That way, goals and next steps are shaped together rather than prescribed. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose a way of working that fits the person's needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat works for real-time typed conversation and text messaging lets people reflect slowly between contacts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and mobility needs, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
