Louise Vickers
Person-centred counsellor helping people find direction
About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, addiction and changes in life circumstances. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting concerns, eating issues and career questions.
Her work includes support for people exploring LGBT issues, ADHD, bipolar and trauma-related matters. She follows a person-centred approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means the focus is on understanding the client’s perspective and building on their own strengths.
Background and approach
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons and drive for change. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Louise aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can talk things through and set clear, achievable steps.
She pays attention to practical goals as well as emotional concerns so progress can be seen between sessions. With four years of experience, Louise has worked with a broad range of issues including bereavement, trauma and substance-related concerns. She follows the BACP Ethical Framework and uses that to guide professional boundaries and practice.
Her style is warm, straightforward and collaborative. People who choose to work with Louise usually want a counsellor who listens without judgment and helps them move towards clear next steps. She will tailor the pace and focus to each person, whether that means short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person and reflecting their experience back so they feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and strengthen their commitment; it is useful for addictions, ambivalence about change and goal-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and paced to the individual.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and body language for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter emotional check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility limitations while keeping the focus on practical, goal‑oriented work.
