About Louise
Louise Lant is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also covers communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation.
Louise trained originally in person-centred therapy, and that approach remains central to her work. She focuses on building a straightforward, honest working relationship so people can talk about how they feel and what they want from counselling. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for practical ways to draw out existing strengths.
When appropriate, Louise draws on strategies from solution-focused methods, compassion-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches. These methods are used to introduce practical steps and coping strategies. She will discuss options and try approaches that suit the person in front of her rather than following a single formula.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be clear and direct. People can expect to talk through their immediate concerns, try short exercises or reflections, and review what helps between sessions. Louise encourages honest feedback about how the work is going so adjustments can be made.
Her experience includes supporting people through midlife shifts, questions about life purpose and women’s issues. She also helps with building self-love, managing control issues and improving everyday communication at home.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Louise uses person-centred therapy as the foundation of her practice. This approach focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive relationship where the client leads the conversation and their own goals are central. It is helpful for people who want to explore feelings and make sense of changes in their lives.She also brings in techniques from solution-focused work and cognitive behavioural ideas. Solution-focused techniques look for small, practical steps and exceptions to problems to build forward momentum. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try short experiments to test different ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify what feels most useful, and adapt methods as progress is reviewed. This is a shared process based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy household because they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins where helpful and can work around school or work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits and will advise on the best way to make sessions fit into everyday life.
