Louise Guidon, BACP

Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She presents as calm and approachable and aims to help people make practical changes in their lives. Her background includes agency work, college counselling, and charity roles that shaped her support style.

She has four years of professional experience supporting adults and young people in a range of settings. That experience includes local counselling agencies, a college counselling post, and work for a national children's charity providing wellbeing support to children, young people and their parents. She also recently opened a face-to-face independent practice.

Louise draws on person-centred approaches to create an accepting space. In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and struggles without judgement.

Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, LGBTQ issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression and coping with life changes. She also offers support around compassion fatigue and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.

Before training as a counsellor she worked providing support in housing and mental health settings. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to problem solving. She asks people to take the next step when they feel ready and offers steady support along the way.
