About Louise

Louise Fielder is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions and relationship and family concerns. She also works with issues such as eating, sleeping, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem.

Louise helps people who are coping with bereavement, loss through suicide, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name and understand their emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps and on recognising what a person already uses to manage hard times.

Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas. That means she pays attention to emotional experience, listens without judgement and supports people to find small, workable changes. Cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused approaches may also be used where helpful.

Louise offers telephone and online chat options according to her original biography; please confirm current session formats before booking. She explains how her methods work and answers questions to help people choose the right support. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.

She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches fit with online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is about identifying and naming core emotions and how they shape patterns in relationships and personal behaviour. It can help when strong feelings are hard to express or understand. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and on listening in a non-judgemental way to build understanding and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then decide together how to combine methods. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

The original biography mentions telephone and online chat options, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Different formats also suit different kinds of conversation - a phone call can be simpler for a short check-in, while a longer discussion may work better with messaging or a fuller online session. Confirm the available options when you sign up and the therapist will explain how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
