Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Louise aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stressful life events and emotional pain.

Her approach focuses on listening and helping each person feel heard. That style supports conversations about anxiety, stress, grief, relationships and self-esteem. It is also used for concerns linked to work, parenting, sleep and life transitions such as midlife change.

Before training as a counsellor, Louise worked supporting adults with housing and mental health needs. She has provided wellbeing help in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor. More recently she has taken on private practice work and contributes to a national children's charity offering wellbeing support to young people and parents.

In sessions she aims to create an open atmosphere where people can share without judgement. The focus is on the person’s experience and on helping them find their own ways forward. Louise describes taking the first step as an act of courage, and she offers steady, supportive presence through that process.

If you are thinking about changes in midlife, coping with loss, relationship strain or persistent anxiety, Louise offers person-centred listening and practical conversation to help you make sense of what is happening.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and responding to each person as an individual. It involves the counsellor offering an accepting, non-judgemental presence so the client can talk through feelings and decide on next steps. This approach is often helpful for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship strain and midlife transitions.

Because the core of person-centred work is the relationship, the therapist will pay attention to how sessions feel and adapt accordingly. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what helps most based on a person’s goals and preferences.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone join from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help maintain continuity of care while matching the way a person prefers to meet.
