Louise Vickers

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing eating and food-related issues alongside a wide range of concerns. She works with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction and motivation challenges. Louise aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She uses a person-centred style that puts each person's experience at the centre of the work. That means sessions are shaped around what the client brings and what matters most to them. Louise listens for strengths and helps clients make practical choices they feel ready for.

Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help with change or finding direction. This approach focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about taking the next step. It is often used alongside person-centred talking to support decisions about behaviour and goals.

Her practice covers many life challenges, including grief, trauma, parenting strain, career uncertainty, ADHD-related concerns and long-term health issues. Louise aims to respond with sensitivity when sensitive topics come up and to help people find ways to cope day to day.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines practical conversation with supportive listening. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their timetable.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Louise uses a person-centred approach, which emphasises listening and following what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions focus on a person's priorities, feelings and choices rather than a fixed agenda.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find energy for change. This approach is useful when someone feels unsure or stuck about changing behaviour, including decisions around eating or substance use.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods feel most helpful, and adapt the work as goals and needs change. Clients are involved in shaping the plan rather than being given a one-size-fits-all programme.

Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer a choice about whether to use video or another method when arranging appointments, depending on what works best for the client.
