Louise Lant
Person-centred counsellor focused on practical change
About Louise
Louise Lant works from a person-centred perspective that puts the relationship at the heart of therapy. She aims to create a calm and open space where people can be honest about how they feel and what they need. Louise qualified as a counsellor in the United Kingdom in 2017 and has eight years of experience in different counselling roles.
She helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety and those struggling with self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with family tensions and the practical strains of parenting. Louise pays attention to communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Her foundational training is in Person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and trusting the person’s own ability to find solutions.
She also draws on techniques from other evidence-based approaches when they suit a person’s needs, including strategies used in solution-focused work, compassion-focused ideas and elements from cognitive behavioural methods. In sessions she aims to build trust quickly so people can talk about what matters most. She works at a steady pace and checks in about what is or is not helpful.
That makes it easier to try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Louise believes people already have strengths they can draw on, and therapy is often about helping them notice and use those strengths. She offers practical support and gentle encouragement for people who want to make changes and find more fulfilment in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Louise bases her work in Person-centred therapy, which focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship that helps people talk openly and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low confidence and life changes because it prioritises listening and building trust.She also uses techniques drawn from solution-focused work and compassion-focused ideas. Solution-focused techniques look for small, practical steps that can change day-to-day patterns. Compassion-focused ideas help people respond to themselves with more kindness and reduce harsh self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Louise will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly about progress and adapts the way she works so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to reflect between messages. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and varying comfort with being on camera.
