About Louise

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and other life challenges. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, low self-esteem, stress and motivation. Louise works with practical goals as well as emotional concerns to help people move forward.

She uses a person-centred style that centres on listening and respect. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with no fixed script. That approach aims to make people feel heard and understood so they can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

Background and approach

Louise also uses motivational interviewing to help with change-oriented goals. This can be useful for issues like addictions, low motivation, or making career and lifestyle changes. It focuses on what matters to the individual and helps them find their own reasons to take steps forward.

Her work draws on four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and on the principles of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings sensitivity to topics such as parenting, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues and chronic health challenges. Sessions can include short-term practical work or longer-term support depending on need.

Louise aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult choices, process loss, or plan new directions in life.

How Louise uses person-centred work and motivational interviewing online

Louise draws on person-centred counselling, which means she listens closely and follows what matters to the person. That approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding and make decisions at their own pace. It suits issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support change-focused goals. This method helps people weigh options, build motivation and make small steps towards things like reducing substance use, improving routines or pursuing career changes. It concentrates on the person's own reasons for change rather than telling them what to do.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. Louise will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-focused sessions with brief goal-oriented work, and adapting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see one another for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat enables shorter check-ins between calls, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while still accessing trained therapists and counsellors.
