About Louise

Louise Lant is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work. She values a warm, respectful relationship and helps people feel heard while they tackle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the strain of parenting and family life.

She qualified as a counsellor in the United Kingdom in 2017 and has worked across a range of settings since then. That experience includes supporting people with relationship and communication problems, feelings of isolation, control issues and life changes such as midlife transitions.

Background and approach

Louise uses person-centred principles first and foremost. She also draws on practical strategies from brief, solution-focused work, compassion-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches when these fit a person's needs. These tools are used to help people try new ways of thinking and coping between sessions.

She sees therapy as a collaborative process. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person, helps clarify goals and tries out small, achievable steps to reduce anxiety or build confidence. The focus is on what a person wants to change and how to get there in everyday life.

People who come to Louise often want straightforward help with stress, parenting strain, family conflict or finding more purpose. She aims to support people as they find their own strengths and make changes at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches and online options for everyday anxiety

Person-centred counselling places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of change. The counsellor listens without judgement and works with what matters most to the person, helping them name priorities and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress and confidence issues where feeling understood is a first step.

Short, solution-focused techniques concentrate on small practical steps and what is already working. They help people set clear, achievable goals and try brief experiments between sessions to reduce worry or regain control. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve coping.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options, check what feels comfortable and adapt methods to the person's goals and pace. That means working together to choose techniques that fit day-to-day life rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. Video calls let people keep visual contact, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices aim to make accessing therapeutic support more flexible and convenient.
