Louise Vickers

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports people dealing with addictions, self-esteem issues, bereavement, trauma and life changes. Louise aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She follows a person-centred style that shapes sessions around what each person needs. That means conversations focus on the person’s priorities, not a fixed agenda. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons and energy to make changes. Louise draws on four years of practice working with issues such as parenting concerns, eating and food-related difficulties, career stress and coping with chronic illness. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works within its ethical framework. In sessions she offers practical time to talk through recent events, identify patterns, and test small changes that might improve day-to-day life. She pays attention to feelings like anger and shame, and helps people explore what those feelings mean for them. If someone is considering starting therapy, Louise asks them to be honest about what they want to change. Together they set simple, achievable steps and review progress. This approach aims to make therapy understandable and usable for busy people.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with attention and reflects what matters to the individual, helping them make sense of feelings such as anger or grief. This approach is useful for people wanting to be heard and to develop clearer goals for change.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change. It uses short, practical conversations to build motivation and plan small steps, which can be helpful for issues like addictions, low motivation or making lifestyle changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean using person-centred listening at first, then adding motivational techniques to support action when the timing feels right.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow conversations to happen from wherever a person is based in the United Kingdom. The site’s booking flow asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability, so practical arrangements are clear before starting. Confirm the specific session options on the therapist’s profile before booking so the chosen format meets your needs.
