Louise Guidon

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the BACP, and brings a calm, open approach to sessions. Louise focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety and anger while helping people make sense of relationship and family troubles.

She uses the person-centred model to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and paced to what each person needs. Clients can expect to talk through feelings, look at what matters to them, and try small changes that fit their life.

Louise has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor. She also provides wellbeing support for children, young people and parents through a national charity, and has recent experience running a face-to-face private practice. Before training as a counsellor, she supported adults with housing and mental health needs.

Her experience includes helping people with grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties and coping with life changes. She also supports clients facing career stress, compassion fatigue and challenges related to neurodiversity and disability. Louise draws on straightforward conversation and steady presence to help people move forward.

People who book time with her can expect an initial focus on understanding what matters most to them. From there she works collaboratively to set gentle goals and review progress. The emphasis is on practical steps and building resilience in day-to-day life.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Person-centred counselling focuses on creating a respectful, listening relationship where the person is the expert in their own life. This approach helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, anger and relationship concerns by prioritising empathy and understanding over directive advice.

In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, asks gentle questions and supports them to make their own choices. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, identifying small changes and checking how those changes fit day-to-day life. That style can be helpful for people working through grief, low self-esteem or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to see what fits best. Together they will consider needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a brief slot during a lunch break, helping therapy sit alongside everyday life.
