About Louise

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, stress, addictions and work or career worries. Her approach is practical and person-focused, with sessions shaped around what each person needs.

Louise works from the person-centred tradition. That means conversations are led by the client’s concerns and pace rather than a fixed script.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most, then helps people find their own solutions. She also uses motivational interviewing to boost motivation and support change when people feel stuck. She has four years' experience working with a broad range of issues, including eating and food-related problems, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and parenting challenges.

Additional areas she pays attention to include chronic illness and disability, communication problems, isolation and life purpose questions. Louise follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework and aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect. Sessions are tailored to individual goals and circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

People can expect a calm, respectful space where the counsellor prioritises listening and collaboration. Practical steps, gentle encouragement and clear options for change are offered alongside emotional support. Louise encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward a more satisfying life.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as an individual. In online sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and the emotional impact of trauma. Motivational Interviewing is a practical method for people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. It uses open questions and reflective feedback to strengthen motivation and plan small steps forward. This can be useful for addiction, lifestyle changes and overcoming avoidance. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. That collaborative process helps decide whether a person-centred focus, motivational tools, or a blend of both will suit the situation. Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins, while live chat and text messaging suit shorter notes or ongoing reflection. These options help people attend sessions from wherever they are and keep momentum between meetings.
