About Louise

Louise Guidon works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, family difficulties, grief and self-esteem using a person‑centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' professional experience in the UK.

She began her career supporting adults with housing and mental health needs before training as a counsellor. Since qualifying she has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor, and she provides wellbeing support through a national children's charity.

Louise now runs a face‑to‑face practice in the UK and draws on this mixed background when working with people. Sessions focus on listening without judgment, helping clients to clarify what matters to them and to find their own way forward. The emphasis is on the client's perspective rather than on imposing techniques.

Her caseload has included issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue and the effects of trauma and abuse, alongside common concerns like sleeping problems, anger and career stress. She also supports people through life changes, separation and bereavement.

Louise works with individuals on relationship and intimacy-related issues and on difficulties linked to identity, including LGBT matters and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also has experience with long‑term illness, intellectual disability and caregiver stress.

People who contact her are asked to use the site matching process to book a first appointment. Sessions are organised so that practical needs and personal goals can be discussed from the first meeting.

How Louise uses person‑centred work for remote counselling

Person‑centred therapy places the client's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client to make sense of thoughts and feelings. This approach is often used for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and self‑esteem difficulties.

Her practice draws on this person‑centred approach to support people coping with stress, family conflict, trauma and life changes. The focus is on understanding the client's priorities and working together to identify what would help most, rather than prescribing specific techniques.

Finding the right way of working is part of the early sessions. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree how to proceed in collaboration. This helps shape the pace and focus of counselling so it fits the individual's situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, study or family commitments and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, or conversations without being on camera, depending on the chosen format.
