Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centred qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice. She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds professional insurance to support her work.

Since qualifying, Louise has worked across local counselling agencies supporting both adults and young people, served as a college counsellor, and recently established a face-to-face private practice. She also provides well-being support through a national children’s charity, working with children, young people, and their parents. Her practice draws on this varied background to address concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and coping with grief and loss.

Prior to training as a counsellor, Louise worked in roles offering support to adults in housing and mental health services, experience that informs her practical and empathetic approach. She aims to create an open, nonjudgemental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Louise supports people taking the often-difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing and works collaboratively to help them move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy is the core approach in Louise's practice. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s pace and perspective. It helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and life transitions by focusing on the client’s own resources and goals rather than directing or diagnosing.

Louise applies person-centred principles to create a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods and session formats feel most helpful, adapting the approach based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work and is decided together with a registered professional.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without travel, allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining regular contact with a therapist who understands the client’s priorities.
