Louise Lant , BACP

Louise Lant is a counsellor who bases her work on person-centred principles. She aims to build a warm, honest relationship so people can say what they really feel. She often helps with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and the pressures of parenting and family life.

She trained as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has practised since 2017, gathering eight years of professional experience in different settings. That experience includes supporting people through life changes, midlife questions and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Louise keeps therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her and on finding useful steps to feel better. She draws on person-centred work alongside ideas from solution-focused, compassion-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches when these feel helpful.

Her style is collaborative - she listens first and then works with each person to identify small, manageable changes. She encourages people to recognise the strengths they already have and to practise new ways of coping with daily pressures.

People seeking support around women’s issues, self-love, communication or control can expect calm, respectful conversation and practical suggestions. Louise aims to make the process manageable and to help people move towards clearer choices and more confident steps forward.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Louise works from a person-centred base, which means the relationship and what you want to achieve come first. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they decide the changes they want to make.

She also uses elements of solution-focused work, which concentrates on small achievable steps and what already works for you. That approach suits people who want practical strategies to manage stress, parenting challenges or everyday worries. Compassion-focused ideas help people develop kinder ways of relating to themselves, useful for self-esteem, self-love and coping with anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Louise will work with each person to discuss goals, try different techniques and settle on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative journey where you set the pace and shape the work together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break, live chat is useful for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
