About Louise
Counsellor Louise Guidon is a BACP member and has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred counselling and works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as parenting and sleeping problems.
Louise trained in person-centred approaches and has practised in local counselling agencies. She has worked with adults and young people, served as a college counsellor, and provided wellbeing support for a national children's charity. Her earlier work included supporting adults with housing and mental health needs.
Her sessions focus on listening and helping people talk through difficult feelings. Conversations cover current problems, relationships, and how past experiences affect everyday life. The emphasis is on understanding the person’s perspective and responding to what they bring to each session.
Louise has also supported people with anger, career worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues linked to abandonment, attachment, or life changes. She has experience with complex concerns including chronic illness, bereavement, domestic violence, and family problems.
People can expect straightforward, person-centred work aimed at making sense of difficult situations and finding manageable next steps. For anyone in the UK thinking about counselling, her practice combines community and charity experience with private practice work.

Person-centred work and remote counselling
Person-centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person rather than directing them. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings, and supports the client to make their own choices. This approach is commonly used for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain and anxiety.In practice Louise will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt sessions over time. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together rather than a one-off decision.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used for remote work, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats may be useful for shorter check-ins or when video is not possible, while others suit longer therapeutic conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical choices and recommend what will work best for each person.
