About Louise
Louise Vickers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems and life transitions. She speaks English and draws on four years of practice to guide practical steps forward.
She works in a person-centred way, listening first to what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around individual needs, with attention to respect, sensitivity and compassion. This means people set the pace and focus of their conversations.
Background and approach
Louise uses motivational interviewing techniques when someone needs help finding direction or building motivation for change. That approach aims to uncover personal reasons for change and turn them into workable plans. It is often useful for addiction, career shifts and habit change.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting stress, eating issues, bipolar and ADHD-related worries. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, ageing issues, immigration challenges and feelings of isolation.
Sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of helping someone find their own reasons for change. The counsellor asks open questions and supports small, achievable steps. It is useful for addiction, motivation issues and making lasting changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to agree a plan together. That means approaches can be tried and adapted until they suit the person and situation.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress.
