About Louise
Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Louise focuses on making it easier to talk about difficult feelings and life changes.
She uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work. Sessions aim to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them. The tone is supportive and straightforward, with attention to what a client wants to change.
Background and approach
Louise has four years of professional experience working across local counselling agencies and in an educational setting. She has also provided wellbeing support for children, young people and their parents through a national charity. Before training as a counsellor she worked in housing and mental health support for adults.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with anger, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties and career worries. People can expect a conversational style where the counsellor listens and reflects rather than prescribes.
The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Sessions in her independent practice are offered face to face, and she can discuss the best way to begin when contacted.

How Louise works online
The goal is to work together to find what helps. Louise will discuss what feels useful and adapt the way she works to fit a person's needs and goals. Clients and counsellor decide collaboratively on pace, topics and follow-up tasks as therapy progresses.
Specific session formats are not detailed in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when required. It can also be useful when someone prefers not to meet in person or needs flexibility around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often tailor session length and scheduling to help therapy fit into real life.
