Louise Vickers, BACP

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing midlife concerns and related life changes. She helps with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self‑esteem, grief, addiction and career strain. Louise uses a person-centred approach to listen and respond to what matters most to each person.

With four years' experience she adapts sessions to individual needs. She focuses on understanding the person's experience, and works at the person's pace. Her style is warm, respectful and down-to-earth.

Louise draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. She uses Motivational Interviewing when people want to change habits such as drinking or managing motivation at work. These methods aim to increase self-awareness and personal choice.

She has supported people with trauma, bereavement, eating concerns, ADHD and long-term health issues. Louise also helps with family-related stress, communication problems and the strain of separation or divorce. Her approach is flexible, so practical steps and talking remain tailored to what each person needs.

To begin, people complete a brief questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Louise works in English and does not take international clients.

How Louise uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own direction. This approach supports issues like low self‑esteem, relationship strain and life purpose questions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses careful questions and reflections to build motivation for practical shifts, such as changing drinking habits or improving work routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best. She adapts techniques to match goals, pace and personal preference rather than applying a single method to every situation.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirm which formats the counsellor offers and choose what fits your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to take part without being on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care while making sessions practical for everyday life.
