About Louise

Louise Fielder is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience supporting people through grief, anxiety, depression and parenting-related stress. She works with adults who are coping with trauma, loss, self-esteem struggles, addiction and relationship concerns. Louise uses accessible language and straightforward methods in sessions.

Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques. That means conversations start with what matters to the person in front of her, then move to practical steps that can relieve pressure between sessions. She listens for patterns linked to past hurt and helps people try new ways of reacting to difficult feelings.

Louise offers clear, structured work on anxiety and mood problems, including support for suicidal thoughts and self-harm. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy-related worries and issues linked to adoption or abandonment. When physical illness, chronic pain or caregiver stress is part of the picture, she treats those pressures as part of everyday life rather than separate problems.

Sessions focus on skills people can use right away - small experiments, thought records and short goal-setting. She uses the person-centred stance to follow what clients bring, and solution-focused questions to keep therapy practical. Trauma-focused practices are used when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning.

People can expect plain speech and regular review of progress. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Louise uses evidence-informed approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what she hears and helps the client clarify their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs time to make sense of intense feelings or to decide what to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and parenting-related stress by teaching practical skills to use between sessions.

Louise treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and try small changes to see what helps. This shared planning means the focus can shift as needs change during therapy.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Practical advantages of arranging sessions online include fitting therapy around childcare or work, shorter check-ins when life is busy, and choosing audio only if you prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible arrangements to make regular work on problems easier to sustain.
