Louise Claydon
Support for stress, anxiety and relationships
About Louise
Louise Claydon helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or struggling with relationships and low self-esteem. She offers coaching for coping with life changes and for building confidence and resilience. Louise has BACP on her record and brings 11 years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on what the person wants to address and aims to build practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain and focused on real-life changes rather than clinical labels. Louise uses a mix of approaches depending on the need. That includes attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns, client-centred work that keeps the person’s priorities central, and cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may also be drawn on where helpful. Across sessions she often combines coaching-style goal work with space to talk things through. Sessions can include short practical tasks, reflective conversation, and simple grounding or breathing exercises.
The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day life. She has worked in independent practice and within the NHS during her career. Louise accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients and runs sessions online by phone, video, chat or messaging.

Sessions & fees
How Louise's approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify repeated ways of relating and develop gentler ways of connecting with others and yourself. Client-centred work means the person sets the agenda and the therapist follows. In an online setting this often looks like guided conversation that focuses on your priorities and what matters most right now. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers simple exercises to try between sessions to test new ways of thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and decide together what to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as you learn what helps most for your situation.
Online therapy is flexible and can fit around work, family life or mobility needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, real-time support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to attend regularly and to carry practical work into everyday life.
