Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult times. She is a BACP member and draws on four years of professional practice to help people find clearer ways forward.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room, with an emphasis on listening, reflecting and understanding rather than directing. This helps clients explore feelings around stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem at a manageable pace.

Louise has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor, and she also provides wellbeing support through a national children’s charity. Before training in counselling she supported adults in housing and mental health settings, which informs a practical understanding of everyday pressures.

She supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include chronic pain, illness and disability, ADHD, attachment and ageing issues. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to develop their own ways of coping.

People who choose Louise will find a steady, person-focused style. She encourages honest conversation about hard topics like trauma, domestic violence, loss and guilt. The goal is to help people move towards greater wellbeing at a pace that suits them.

Person-centred support adapted for online work

Person-centred Therapy places emphasis on the person's own experience and on being listened to without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, helps name difficult feelings and follows the client's concerns rather than imposing a plan. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, life changes and relationship strain.

The collaborative process matters here. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which style and pace suit them best. Together they will review goals and adjust the way they work if needed, aiming for a helpful fit between approach and need.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also help people who prefer not to attend in person while still keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
