About Louise
Louise Claydon is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationships and major life changes. She offers practical coaching for confidence and resilience. Louise focuses on helping people find manageable steps forward when life feels overwhelming.
She describes her manner as warm, caring and non-judgemental. Sessions centre on the client's needs and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. That person-centred stance aims to help people feel heard while they work on real goals.
Louise blends solution-focused techniques with attachment-based and cognitive behavioural ideas. She uses short-term strategies to build coping skills, and gentler explorations to understand patterns that keep causing pain. Mindfulness and psychodynamic elements may be introduced where they fit the client's aims.
Her experience spans private practice and work within the NHS. That mix has shaped a practical style that combines coaching, emotional support and problem-solving. People often work on communication, boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Areas of additional focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image and health-related concerns such as cancer. She also supports people affected by coping with natural or human-caused disaster and those dealing with divorce, separation and commitment worries.
Sessions are conducted in English and Louise accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Louise uses therapy approaches online
Louise draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That can help when someone struggles with trust, dependence or repeated conflict. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. CBT offers clear, practical steps for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. Together the client and counsellor decide whether short-term, solution-focused techniques or deeper exploration will be most helpful.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding a camera when that feels better. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work well across different setups.
