About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps with grief, trauma, parenting stress and life changes.
Louise works in a warm, respectful way. She listens closely and follows each person's lead. Sessions are shaped to suit individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means the person at the centre guides the pace and focus.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck. Those two ways of working are mixed as needed to match what someone brings to the room. With four years of experience, Louise has supported people through a wide range of issues.
She draws on simple, practical techniques to build motivation and confidence. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps. Louise values compassion, dignity and clear boundaries in sessions.
She encourages people to talk honestly about what they are feeling and what they want to change. The work aims to leave people better equipped to manage stress, navigate decisions and improve relationships. People will find sessions that are adaptable to their life and goals.
Louise frames therapy as a collaborative process and works at a pace that suits each person. She offers sessions in English and practices across the United Kingdom.

Online support
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of helping people find reasons to change. It uses open questions and gentle feedback to boost commitment and plan small steps. This can help with addictions, motivation at work and making lifestyle changes.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the person's goals, needs and preferences. Clients are involved in choosing which approach feels most helpful and may use different methods over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical change.
