Louise Fielder, BACP

Louise Fielder offers a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's needs at the heart of each session. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief and the after-effects of trauma. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.

She has three years' experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation. This background shapes a straightforward, respectful style that values each person's pace and priorities. Louise listens first, then helps people choose small changes that matter.

Her approach draws on client-centred practice alongside solution-focused and trauma-aware methods. That means sessions often start with what matters now, then map practical steps to reach short-term goals. Cognitive and emotionally-focused ideas are used where they suit the persons needs, for example when addressing patterns of thought or relationship emotions.

Louise supports people dealing with stress, addictions, low self-esteem and anger as well as bereavement and long-term illness. She also works with issues such as ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy and career worries. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, caregiving stress and body image concerns.

Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Therapy sits alongside the client's life, and Louise encourages collaborative planning so goals are realistic and achievable. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering acceptance and empathy to help people clarify what matters and find their own solutions. It often helps with low self-esteem, grief and general stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link. It uses practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and patterns that keep returning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they affect close relationships. It helps people name emotions and change patterns that cause distress, useful for intimacy and relationship-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and choose methods together based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see each other and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need ongoing brief support between sessions. These formats help therapy fit around work, caring duties and daily life.
