About Louise
Counsellor Louise Lant is a BACP-registered practitioner with eight years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, family and parenting concerns.
Louise trained originally in person-centred therapy and continues to use that approach as the basis of her work. She also draws on techniques from solution-focused, compassion-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches when these suit a person's needs. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address and on practical ways to move forward.
In the room she aims to build a straightforward working relationship. She encourages honest feedback about what is helping and what is not. Conversations cover feelings, thoughts and practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her experience comes from a variety of counselling roles since qualifying in 2017. That background means she has worked with people in different situations and with different pressures. She brings that range of experience into each session and adapts the mix of approaches to the issue at hand.
Louise often helps with communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation. She also supports people facing life changes, midlife questions, struggles with self-love and concerns commonly described as women's issues. Where parenting or family tensions are involved, she focuses on the individual's experience and choices.
To get started a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Louise's practice is grounded in person-centred therapy. This approach focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client and on helping people speak honestly about how they feel. It is useful for those who want time to reflect and to make sense of their experiences.She also draws on solution-focused techniques. These are short-term strategies that aim to identify practical steps and small changes that can be tried between sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used too when it helps to look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative task. The counsellor and client will discuss goals and preferences and try ways of working that match those priorities. If something does not feel useful it will be reviewed and adjusted together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit more easily around work, childcare and travel. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited and not needing to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to make counselling more workable within everyday life.
