About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults facing issues such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting pressures, bereavement, trauma, and addiction. She also supports people coping with life changes, stress and career concerns.
Louise uses a person-centred style. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. She listens and reflects back what is said, helping people clarify their goals and next steps.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to help with ambivalence and making changes. That approach is used when someone wants to build motivation around behaviour such as substance use, lifestyle shifts, or career moves.
Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect space to talk through feelings, and time to identify small, realistic steps to try between sessions. The therapist aims to be direct and respectful while keeping things straightforward.
Her work covers a broad set of everyday concerns including parenting strain, family problems, grief, eating and food-related issues, and managing long-term health or disability. She accepts clients in the UK and offers sessions in English. To start, clients choose the online therapy options and complete a short questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s perspective at the centre. The therapist listens without directing, reflects what is said, and helps the client decide what to focus on. This approach suits people who need time to sort through feelings about relationships, parenting, grief or life changes.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to resolve ambivalence. This can be useful for behaviour change around addiction, lifestyle shifts, or making career moves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose which method or mix of methods to use. That choice is reviewed as progress or new concerns emerge.
Practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins around childcare or work breaks and to choose a quieter time without needing to leave home. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them.
