Louise Vickers, BACP

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, low self-esteem and the pressures of life change. She also works with clients navigating grief, trauma, parenting strains, career questions and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.

Louise practices using person-centred principles. She aims to listen without judgement and to adapt sessions to each person's needs. Her approach focuses on understanding what matters to the individual and helping them find their own way forward.

She also draws on motivational interviewing, which helps people find the motivation to make changes they want. That can be useful for issues like addictive behaviours, career moves or making practical life changes.

Clients can expect calm, respectful conversation that keeps the person’s goals central. Louise pays attention to practical steps as well as emotional support, and she works at a pace that suits the client.

With four years of experience she has supported people with a broad mix of concerns, including long-term health and disability issues, autism, ADHD and separation. Louise follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework in her practice and tailors sessions to each person's situation.

How her approaches work online

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers an accepting, respectful space and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings, identity questions, relationship worries or loss.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for habits, addictive behaviours, career decisions or making practical life adjustments.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working that suit the individual and adapt as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online talking therapies can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offering phone conversation when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to help keep therapy practical and accessible while working towards the client’s aims.
