About Louise
Counsellor and BACP member Louise Devereux works in the United Kingdom and has three years' experience. She helps people who are dealing with loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing career changes and parenting strains.
Louise uses a client-centred approach. That means she aims to listen without judgement and follow what each person brings to the room. Sessions focus on giving people space to talk through thoughts and feelings and to reflect on what matters to them.
She has worked with a range of concerns including bereavement and loss, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and midlife questions. She also supports people with pregnancy and childbirth matters, workplace issues and the stresses of caregiving.
In practical terms Louise encourages people to notice what helps and what gets in the way of change. She talks through options for coping and ways to build confidence that suit each person’s life. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what a client wants to work on.
Her style is conversational. She listens, asks questions and reflects back what she hears so people can make sense of their situation. If someone prefers, she will discuss how to organise sessions and what to expect at the first meeting before booking.
How client-centred work translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s own priorities. This approach suits concerns such as grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and general life stress. Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That way the style of sessions can be adjusted as the work develops and as needs change. For practical arrangements, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins where needed, and give more flexible scheduling across the week. If a client has a preference about how they meet, Louise will talk through options and decide what best fits their situation.Areas of expertise
