About Louise
Louise Claydon is a BACP counsellor who brings 11 years of practical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes and coaching. Her style is warm, caring and non-judgemental, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Louise draws on several therapy styles to help people make changes that feel manageable. She uses client-centred ways of working to follow the client's lead and build confidence together. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours in everyday life.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns can shape reactions in adult life. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce overwhelm and bring simple focus into busy moments. Psychodynamic thinking is used when people want to make sense of repeating patterns and emotions.
Louise has worked in private practice and within the NHS. That background informs a practical approach that balances immediate coping strategies with longer term personal exploration. She describes her role as supporting people to find what helps them feel stronger.
If someone wants to start, Louise asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are then scheduled according to therapist availability and may be organised through the service's process.
Approaches used online and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and relationship patterns, which can help when someone notices repeating difficulties in close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting the client to set the pace and agenda for change, which suits people who want a collaborative space. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety and improve everyday functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as the sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where the client's experience guides which tools are used.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups during a lunch break or between commitments. It also makes it straightforward to continue conversations when practical life changes occur, while the therapist and client agree together on the best way to meet their needs.
