Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Louise aims to make the first step into counselling feel manageable and humane for people under pressure.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps with family difficulties, parenting strain, sleep problems and anger. Additional interests include ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD.

Louise draws on a person-centred approach, which means she places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She offers a listening space where people can speak without judgement and notice what matters most to them. Conversations are steady and paced to suit each person rather than following a strict script.

Her background includes work in local counselling agencies and a college counselling role, plus support provision for adults in housing and mental health before training as a counsellor. She has also provided wellbeing support through a national children’s charity, working with young people and parents.

In sessions Louise aims to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward. She encourages small changes that fit everyday life and supports people as they try new ways of coping.

Person-centred care and online counselling options

Louise’s primary approach is person-centred therapy. This style emphasises empathic listening and supporting people to find their own solutions. It suits worries such as anxiety, grief, low mood and relationship stress because it focuses on the person’s lived experience.

She also brings practical, everyday support from her experience in college counselling and community services. That background means conversations often include problem-solving and straightforward ways to manage stress, sleep issues and carer strain alongside reflective listening.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to the person’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. The aim is to agree on an approach that fits how someone wants to work and what they hope to change.

Session formats are not specified in the listed biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling around busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments during work or caring commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove the need to be on camera if that suits someone better.
