Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains her own insurance to support her work. Louise has developed her practice across a range of settings, including local counselling agencies supporting both adults and young people, a college where she served as a counsellor, and a national children's charity providing wellbeing support to children, young people and their parents. She has also recently established a face-to-face private practice to offer focused one-to-one counselling.

Her background prior to training as a counsellor involved supporting adults with housing and mental health needs, experience that informs her compassionate, practical approach to care. Louise has particular experience helping clients cope with stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, and manage grief and loss. She works collaboratively with clients to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored.

Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and balanced life can require courage, and Louise aims to provide steady support through that process. Her person-centered approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and listening so that each client can feel heard and work toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client is treated as the expert on their own experience. The therapist offers active listening and unconditional positive regard to help individuals explore emotions, understand patterns, and build self-awareness; this approach is especially helpful for issues like stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and grief.

In practice, Louise works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and determine how best to work toward them. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - she will discuss options, adapt methods to suit individual needs, and involve clients in decisions about pacing and focus so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging add practical flexibility to therapy, allowing people to access registered professionals and therapists from locations that suit their schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
