About Louise

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Louise aims to offer a calm space where people can speak openly about worries and challenges.

She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, grief and issues around self-esteem. Sleep and rest difficulties are included among the concerns she supports.

Louise draws on person-centred counselling to guide sessions. That means she listens closely and follows what each person needs, rather than imposing a fixed agenda. The pace is set by the client and the work is collaborative.

Her background includes work in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor, plus experience supporting adults in housing and mental health services. She also provides wellbeing support for children, young people and their parents through a national charity.

In therapy she aims to create a non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Practical concerns such as coping with life changes, parenting stress, and managing ADHD-related difficulties are part of the mix. Louise helps people take the small steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier routines.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want from sessions and to set achievable goals. That makes it easier to measure progress and adjust the work as needed.

Person-centred care for online and practical support

Client-centred or person-centred therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what is said and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for worries about sleep, anxiety, relationships and coping with life changes.

The therapist works collaboratively to find the right way forward. That means discussing what methods feel helpful and adjusting the approach over time. Clients and the counsellor agree on goals and check progress together as therapy continues.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and avoid travel. They are also useful for shorter check-ins or when quieter surroundings and less visual focus are needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to suit your needs and practical constraints, helping therapy fit into everyday life without promising any specific outcome.
