About Louise

Louise Fielder is a counsellor who uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and sexual intimacy concerns. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Louise holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom.

She keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person. That can mean talking through recent loss, managing low mood, or finding ways to cope with trauma. Louise also supports people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem or confidence.

Her way of working mixes person-centred listening with goal-focused ideas. This means she listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps to move forward. Cognitive and trauma-focused tools are used when they suit the person’s needs.

Sessions are intended to feel like a guided conversation where the client leads and the counsellor offers structure and options. Louise has three years of experience and draws on that time to keep the work clear and manageable.

She offers help for a wide range of life changes including bereavement, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, and chronic illness. If you are unsure whether counselling would help, Louise invites questions to clarify her methods and how she might work with your concerns.

How Louise uses core approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they work through difficult feelings. This approach is useful for grief, low self-esteem and general emotional distress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and some stress-related difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and naming emotions so they can be managed more effectively, which can support people struggling with intimacy-related issues and relationship-related distress.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try, based on individual needs and goals. That collaborative choice can be changed as the work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about practical arrangements and scheduling so sessions can be planned around everyday life.
