About Louise
Louise Guidon is a person‑centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or difficult life events. Louise is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She kept a practical focus while training and in her early career. Louise has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor, and she currently runs a face-to-face practice.
Background and approach
She also provides wellbeing support through a national children’s charity, connecting with children, young people and parents. In everyday sessions Louise listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. She supports people through grief, relationship and family tensions, low self-esteem and issues with sleep and anger.
She also works with concerns such as trauma, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. Her background includes supporting adults with housing and mental health needs before qualifying as a counsellor. That experience informs her practical, down-to-earth approach to problem solving and coping with change.
Louise uses a person‑centred approach to create space for people to explore feelings at their own pace. She encourages clear, honest conversation so clients can make choices that feel right for them. If someone prefers to talk about work, parenting, identity or long‑standing patterns, she aims to follow their lead and offer steady support.

Ways of working Louise names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Person-centred care online and practical therapy options
Louise practices person-centred counselling, which means she places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship tensions and grief.Her work emphasises following the client's lead and creating a accepting space. That makes it easier to talk about painful experiences such as trauma, intimacy concerns or family conflict. Louise will work with each person to decide how the sessions should unfold and what goals feel useful for them.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let you see facial cues and build rapport, while phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective exchanges and when typing feels more comfortable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. Louise will discuss options, listen to your preferences and adapt how she works so the format and pace suit your needs.
