About Louise
Counsellor Louise Vickers is BACP registered and has four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with problems such as relationship difficulties, low self esteem, depression, anxiety and motivation. She also supports those facing bereavement, trauma and career challenges.
Louise works in a person-centred way. That means she listens without judgement and follows what matters to the individual. Sessions are practical and conversational. She focuses on what the client brings and how they would like things to change.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore what they want to do next. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. It can be useful for issues such as addiction, ambivalence about career steps, or shifting habits.
Louise says she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework. She aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while working with real-life problems such as parenting strain, eating concerns, anger, and isolation.
People often start by naming one or two issues to focus on. Over time they plan practical steps and reflect on progress. Louise supports that process through listening, asking questions, and using motivational techniques where helpful.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects what she hears and helps the client find their own solutions. This works well for people who want to talk through feelings like grief, relationship strain or low self esteem.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses questions and reflection to clarify goals and strengthen motivation. It can be useful for issues such as addiction, making career moves or adjusting habits.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs and preferences and agree the approach together. That way the plan can change if something else suits better.
The practical benefits of remote counselling will depend on the session formats currently offered. Please confirm which session options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to suit each person's daily life.
