About Louise

Louise Fielder is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, solution-focused approach to help people through hard times. She aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about their feelings and start to feel more like themselves again. Louise works with concerns such as grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency, among others.

She keeps sessions practical and tailored to each person. Conversations focus on understanding emotions, building coping strategies, and setting small achievable goals. Louise draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help with patterns of thinking, emotional processing, and relationship concerns.

Her background includes three years working as a counsellor and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is presented as part of her professional identity and approach to practice. She supports people dealing with bereavement, self-harm thoughts, low self-esteem, and loss related to suicide.

Louise describes her style as flexible and collaborative. She believes people have the capacity to heal and works alongside them to identify practical steps forward. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase the ability to cope with life changes and ongoing stress.

To begin, clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to build understanding and self-awareness. It helps when someone needs non-judgemental support to sort through emotions and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle unhelpful thinking patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions and improve emotional connections. It is often useful for addressing issues that centre on attachment, intimacy and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client. It can also make it simpler to continue work through life changes while keeping appointments consistent.
