Louise Guidon
Person-centred counsellor focused on wellbeing
About Louise
Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience in counselling roles. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with depression and major life changes.
She supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, sleep problems and parenting pressures.
Background and approach
Before training as a counsellor she worked supporting adults with housing and mental health needs. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy approachable and useful. She has also worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor, and she provides wellbeing support for children, young people and parents through a national children’s charity.
In sessions she uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s own experience. She creates an open, non-judgemental space so people can talk through difficult feelings and find clarity. Sessions are paced to suit each person and to help them build confidence in making changes.
Louise offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the client’s needs and the therapist’s availability.

Person-centred therapy and online support
Louise uses a person-centred approach which centres on empathic listening and respect for the client’s own pace. This way of working helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or low to feel heard and to explore what matters to them without pressure.Her background supporting adults with housing and mental health needs, and work in colleges and a national children’s charity, informs a practical, grounded way of using person-centred work online. The focus is on understanding each person’s experience and helping them identify steps forward that feel manageable and realistic.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. She will work collaboratively with each client to decide how to shape sessions based on their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation includes which session format feels most useful and how often to meet.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls let people use visual contact when helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit those who prefer writing or want ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and everyday life.
