About Louise
Louise Claydon is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and client-centred and she aims to help people build resilience and practical coping skills.
Louise uses a mix of talking therapy and coaching-style work to help clients identify what they want to change. She listens without judgement and keeps the sessions focused on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting and simple strategies to try between meetings. Her background includes independent practice work and roles within the NHS, which have informed her approach to common concerns. She combines elements of cognitive behavioural thinking and mindfulness to manage anxious thoughts and build steadier routines.
Attachment ideas are used to understand relationship patterns. Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative atmosphere. Conversations look at current problems, past patterns and practical next steps.
Louise supports people to notice small changes that add up over time. She also uses solution-focused techniques to map strengths and clear goals. That work helps when someone needs faster, action-oriented change.
Overall the emphasis is on useful tools, steady progress and restoring confidence.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this means talking about attachment styles and noticing how they affect trust and closeness now, which can help with anxiety and relationship worries.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps clients steer sessions toward what matters most to them, useful for building confidence and clarity.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT often includes practical exercises and experiments to test anxious thoughts and try new behaviours between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That may mean blending approaches or adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can suit those with limited bandwidth or no camera, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship.
