Louise Vickers , BACP

Louise Vickers is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and working in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. BACP registration means she is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors, and follows its professional standards.

She has developed experience supporting people with a range of mental health and life challenges, including relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, depression and anxiety, bereavement, and trauma. Her work focuses on practical and emotional support to help clients navigate difficult moments and build resilience.

Louise adopts a person-centred approach, tailoring sessions and treatment plans to meet each individual’s specific needs. She emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and recognises that reaching out for help takes courage. Louise aims to support people through that first step and beyond, providing a calm space in which they can talk about what matters to them.

Person-Centred and Motivational Support Online

Louise draws on client-centred therapy, a way of working that prioritises empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own pace of change. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and improve self-esteem while focusing on what each person finds most meaningful.

She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. This approach can be particularly helpful for issues such as addiction, behaviour change, and finding direction when feeling stuck.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Louise works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor support to each individual.

Online therapy sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a qualified practitioner and to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
