About Louise

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing a wide range of concerns. She helps with anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, career worries and coping with life changes. She also works with issues including grief, trauma, parenting stress, eating concerns, bipolar and ADHD.

Louise uses a person-centred style that aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own direction and motivation.

Her approach draws on client-centred therapy and motivational interviewing. Client-centred work focuses on understanding someone’s experience and building a trusting, non-directive space. Motivational interviewing helps people increase their readiness to change and identify practical next steps.

Across four years of practice Louise has worked with people presenting a variety of life and mental health challenges. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework and aims to treat clients with sensitivity and compassion.

Louise describes beginning therapy as a courageous step. She tailors sessions and any plan to each person, so the work feels relevant and manageable. If you are thinking about help with money-related stress or financial decision anxiety, Louise can support conversations about how money affects mood, relationships and life choices.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. In this way of working the counsellor reflects back what they hear and allows the person to set the pace and topics. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feelings of emptiness.

Motivational Interviewing looks at what someone wants to change and how to get there. It uses gentle, goal-focused conversation to help increase motivation for practical steps, which can suit worries about addiction, career moves or managing health and money decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription, and the plan can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, because exact options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. It can also mean quieter surroundings or less bandwidth are needed depending on the format chosen. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these benefits to help people sustain regular sessions alongside other commitments.
