About Louise

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP, and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem and related issues.

Louise has four years of professional experience working in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor. She has also provided wellbeing support through a national children’s charity and has recent experience running a face-to-face private practice. Before training as a counsellor she supported adults with housing and mental health needs, which informs her practical perspective.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. The person-centred approach she uses places the client’s experience at the centre of the work and helps people feel heard and understood. This style suits those wanting to explore emotions, relationships or life changes at their own pace.

Louise works with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career stress. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, depression and the practical strain of chronic illness or caregiving.

People often come to her wanting help with family conflict, forgiveness, shame or feelings of emptiness. She offers steady support for coping with separation, abandonment, infidelity and other painful life events. The first session focuses on understanding what matters most and deciding the best next steps together.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

The person-centred approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, building trust and helping people decide what changes feel right for them. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship worries, grief and low self-esteem by giving space to speak and be heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide how to proceed. That collaborative planning helps make sure the way of working fits the person’s life and aims.

The practical benefits of online therapy vary by provider, so please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins during a lunch break. Some people prefer shorter or audio-only sessions when video is difficult, while others value face-to-face contact; these choices are discussed when setting up appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt the rhythm and length of sessions to suit daily routines and goals.
