About Carol

Carol "Louise" Calder is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Louise encourages people to take the first step toward help and acknowledges that starting therapy can be hard.

She focuses on common and sometimes overlapping difficulties such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, motivation, and confidence.

Background and approach

Other areas she addresses include ADHD, addictions, trauma and grief. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations are guided by the client’s pace and priorities.

The emphasis is on listening and helping clients make sense of their feelings. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of the process. This approach supports individuals who want to explore identity, self-worth, and relationship patterns.

It can suit those who prefer a reflective, person-led way of working. Louise offers a straightforward, down-to-earth style aimed at people who want practical clarity and emotional support. She works in English and carries out sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Ways of working Carol names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what someone says, asks gentle questions and supports the person to make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and mood difficulties.

Online talking and messaging sessions are a good fit for people who want flexibility and steady support. Video calls let you read facial expressions and body language during conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when you need a shorter or less visual option. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need quick check-ins, or want to work in smaller steps over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will help you decide what feels best based on your goals and preferences. Together you can try different formats and ways of working until you find what helps.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments, reduce travel time and allow frequent contact in ways that suit your routine. Registered professionals and therapists offer these formats so you can access support in a way that matches your needs and circumstances.
