About Louise

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Louise lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among the issues she helps people with.

She trained in person-centred approaches and has worked in local counselling agencies supporting adults and young people. She also worked as a college counsellor and provided wellbeing support for a national children's charity, supporting children, young people and parents. Before training as a counsellor she worked in adult services in housing and mental health support.

Louise describes working to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Sessions focus on helping people name what is hard and think through next steps. She aims to offer straightforward, practical conversation alongside reflective listening.

Her experience includes supporting people with grief and loss, family conflict, relationship difficulties, and stress related to work or life changes. She also lists areas such as self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue among the concerns she addresses.

Louise also notes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD and aspects of identity such as LGBT issues. She can discuss longer-term themes like attachment, abandonment and forgiveness alongside day-to-day coping strategies.

Sessions are offered in English in the UK. Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats and scheduling details via the service's online matching process.

How Louise uses person-centred work online

Louise uses person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people put words to their feelings. This approach helps when anxiety, relationship strain or grief make it hard to think clearly. It is practical in conversations that aim to reduce overwhelm and identify small steps forward.

Her background supporting adults, young people and college students means she often helps people who need straightforward, conversational support. The therapist will work with each person to decide how the sessions should run and what techniques to try, so the approach evolves from the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments around work, study or caregiving commitments. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins, use of audio only if needed, or easier access when travel would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain what will work best at first contact and help arrange a format that fits everyday life.
