Louise Fielder, BACP

Louise Fielder is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and other emotional challenges. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people feel understood and clearer about their next steps.

She uses a blend of Person-Centred and Solution-Focused methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. That means listening closely to how someone describes their situation, and then working together on small, practical changes that can make daily life easier. Louise helps people think through emotions linked to bereavement, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and loss due to suicide.

Sessions are intended to be an open space to notice patterns in thoughts and habits and to try out different ways of coping. Louise supports people with low self-esteem, trauma, and the practical strain that comes from caregiving, illness or big life changes. She also works with concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career stress.

With three years of experience and registration with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she aims to make counselling straightforward and accessible. Louise encourages questions about methods and what to expect, so people can feel more confident when choosing to start.

People considering counselling are invited to explore how small shifts in daily habits and thinking can add up. Louise seeks to help clients set realistic goals and notice progress between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and having a therapist who reflects what you say. It helps people feel heard and better able to notice their own thoughts and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and daily habits affect mood and behaviour and offers straightforward techniques to try different ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings, often useful for grief and relationship-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That choice is revisited as progress is made, so the plan can change to suit what is working.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing sessions to be scheduled around work, childcare or medical appointments. It also lets people choose sessions that suit their needs, such as shorter check-ins or longer weekly meetings, and can reduce travel time so more focus goes into the therapeutic work.
