About Louise
Louise Claydon is a BACP counsellor with eleven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and major life changes. She combines practical coaching with therapy to help clients build resilience and find clearer ways forward. Louise works in a warm, caring and non-judgemental way and focuses on what each person needs in the present moment.
Her background includes work in private practice and within the NHS, which has exposed her to many different life challenges. She uses solution-focused ideas to identify strengths and small steps that make a difference. Client-centred principles guide sessions so the person sets the agenda and explores what matters most to them.
Louise also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness techniques are used when helpful to develop clearer thinking and calmer responses to stress and anxiety.
She supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, and challenges tied to ageing or illness. Coaching-style work is available for clients who want practical plans alongside emotional support.
Sessions are conducted in English and Louise accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and she uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape current feelings and trust. Online sessions can provide a steady place to notice those patterns and try different ways of relating in conversation. Client-centred work means the person leads the session and the counsellor follows, offering empathy and reflection to help clarify what matters most right now. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative stance helps shape a plan that fits the client’s goals, pace and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is unpredictable. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to make online sessions as useful as in-person work by focusing on clear goals and regular review.
