Louise Vickers, BACP

Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing a wide range of concerns. She helps with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, low self-esteem, career stress, bereavement and trauma. She also works with issues such as parenting struggles, eating-related difficulties, ADHD and life changes that can feel overwhelming.

She uses a person-centred style that keeps the person in the lead. Sessions are shaped around what the individual wants to work on, and Louise adjusts pace and focus to match each person's needs. She aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk honestly about difficult things.

In practice she blends client-centred work with motivational interviewing. That means she listens closely and reflects back what she hears, while also helping people tease out their own reasons for change. This combination is aimed at supporting motivation as well as understanding feelings and beliefs.

Louise has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. She draws on that experience to help people manage stress, cope with grief, and find clearer direction when life feels stuck. She pays attention to practical steps as well as emotional support.

She has additional focus areas including aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and long-term health conditions, autism and Asperger syndrome, and issues linked to immigration, isolation and life purpose. Those topics are part of her wider practice and can be discussed during an initial conversation.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting back what the person says. It helps people feel heard and supported, and it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons to change and strengthen their motivation. It uses gentle questions and summarising to help someone decide what they want to do next, which can be helpful for addictions, behaviour change and getting unstuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try ways of working and adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can shift over time to focus on practical steps, emotional processing or both.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into busy days easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter timings outside work hours or more frequent brief conversations when that suits the person's life.
