Louise Devereux, BACP

Louise Devereux is a UK counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard. Conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting in the room. Louise encourages reflection and practical steps people can try between sessions.

She uses an approach that centres the client and their experience. That means listening closely and following the person's priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. This way of working is often used for worries such as anxiety, stress, depression and relationship strain.

Louise has three years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. She has helped people through bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, and issues with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also supports people facing life changes such as separation, workplace stress and questions about life purpose including midlife transition.

In practical terms she focuses on clear, straightforward conversations. Sessions look at what is troubling someone now, what has helped before, and small experiments to try outside therapy. The aim is to make progress that feels relevant to everyday life.

People can expect a warm, patient tone and a steady focus on their goals. Louise encourages clients to voice their thoughts and feelings and to shape the work together as it unfolds.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's lead to help them make sense of things. This approach suits concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress and life transitions where being listened to helps people find their own solutions.

Because the work is collaborative, Louise will help the client choose ways of working that feel most useful. She will discuss goals, what has helped before, and ways to try different approaches together. Finding the right fit is part of the therapy process rather than a fixed starting point.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a quicker check-in between commitments. They can also support people who need quieter surroundings or who prefer not to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps maintain continuity of care when life is busy, and a collaborative approach helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.
