About Louise
Louise Bridgwater is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works in a person-centred way. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what's worrying them. Sessions focus on listening and helping people find their own way forward when life feels hard.
Louise holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She follows the society's Code of Ethics in her practice. With four years of experience, she supports people dealing with issues such as stress, anxiety and depression, plus grief and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach treats the person, not the problem. Sessions are centred on the client's perspective and current feelings. The counsellor gives space to talk through what is happening and what matters most to the client.
People come for a range of concerns, from relationship and parenting strains to trauma, abuse and workplace compassion fatigue. She also addresses ADHD, body image, chronic illness, fertility and bereavement related issues among others. Conversations are paced by the client and guided by their priorities.
Louise offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. These formats let people choose how they prefer to connect and work through issues over time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps link a person to the best available counsellor and session type.

Approaches Louise lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The choice of approach is collaborative. Louise will work with each person to decide how sessions should feel and what to focus on. She tailors the pace and tone to the client's needs and goals rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual connection for fuller discussion. Phone sessions are useful for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexible contact across the week. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and daily routines.
