Louise Fielder , BACP

Louise Fielder is a counsellor who bases her work on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. She aims to give people a calm, non-judgemental place to talk about what feels hard. Her practice highlights compassion and practical steps rather than labels or jargon.

She helps people facing anxiety, low mood, grief and trauma. She also supports those dealing with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, bereavement and loss. Additional areas she pays attention to include issues around identity, addiction, parenting strain and relationship struggles.

Sessions are offered by phone, video call or text-based chat according to what feels most useful. Louise uses a blend of approaches and adapts sessions to each person. This means practical ideas alongside open listening and emotional reflection.

With three years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she brings a thoughtful, steady style. She works with people who want clear steps and also space to make sense of difficult feelings.

People can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps in the early sessions. Therapy aims are agreed together and revisited as work continues. The focus is on coping strategies, building self-understanding and finding manageable ways forward.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what is said and helps them feel heard, which supports work on self-esteem, grief and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers clear techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour by trying small steps and tracking what changes.

Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your needs. This collaborative style means plans can change as you notice what helps and what does not.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when you need flexible timing around work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the chosen therapeutic tools.
