Louise Vickers , BACP

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. She also supports clients dealing with addictions, grief, eating issues and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward.

She works in a person-centred way. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are used to build understanding, uncover motivation and set realistic goals.

Louise uses motivational interviewing to help people explore change when motivation feels stuck. That approach suits issues like addiction, procrastination or shifting patterns of behaviour. It helps people weigh options and decide what matters most to them.

She draws on four years of experience with a range of concerns, including parenting stress, career uncertainty, ADHD-related challenges and chronic health issues. Louise practices in the United Kingdom and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.

Sessions are tailored to each person's pace and needs. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and practical conversation about next steps. Louise aims to support people as they work towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Person-centred care and motivational support online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping someone feel understood. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes because it centres the person's own goals and experiences.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking about change. It helps people who feel stuck with behaviours such as substance use or unhelpful habits by clarifying ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to fit the person's goals, preferences and circumstances. This is a collaborative process where priorities are set together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options let people fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and make it easier to keep regular contact.
