About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with anxiety and other common concerns. She helps with stress, low mood, relationship worries, self-esteem struggles and motivation. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She works in a person-centred way, which means sessions are shaped around what each person needs. That usually involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and encouraging people to find their own solutions.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is also part of her practice and is used to help people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change. Louise has four years of experience working with issues such as bereavement, trauma, eating concerns, addiction and life transitions. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain and long-term health challenges.
Her background includes applying the ethical principles of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows in her work. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation. Louise aims to create a calm setting where people can talk things through and try out different ways of coping.
She keeps language plain and practical so conversations stay usable after the session. For people who are nervous about starting therapy, she focuses on gentle steps. That can mean short-term work to tackle one issue or a longer conversation about life direction and values.
The goal is steady progress that fits each person’s pace.
Person-centred care and motivational support online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person can explore feelings and decide what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and finding clearer direction in life.Motivational Interviewing works by helping people identify their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and gentle prompts to build motivation for things like stopping addictive behaviours, improving self-care or making career moves. It is goal-focused and often short to medium term.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are tested and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone works well if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are handy for short check-ins or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to access support from different locations and at convenient times.
