About Louise
Louise Claydon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, coping with life changes and coaching concerns, and also lists codependency among her focus areas.
She uses straightforward talking therapy and practical strategies. Sessions look at what is happening now and what you want to change. She draws on approaches that help people understand attachment patterns, change unhelpful thinking, and build clearer communication with others.
Louise has worked in private practice and within the NHS. That mix of settings means she has experience with short-term problem solving and longer conversations about life patterns. She offers tools to manage anxiety, strengthen confidence, and handle transitions such as separation or changing family roles.
In the room she uses person-centred ways of working alongside solution-focused steps, CBT techniques and attachment-informed thinking. That means conversations stay practical and grounded, while also looking at how past relationships influence present choices. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people reflect on feelings and behaviour.
People who want help with communication, control issues, abandonment concerns, or coping with illness and caregiving stress can expect clear, steady support. If you want to try counselling, the next step is to follow the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches inform her online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who repeat the same relationship mistakes or struggle with fear of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, encouraging open exploration of feelings and priorities without a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical experiments and steps to change behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then decide together which methods to try. That makes sessions a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.
The biography does not specify exact online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, appointments and caregiving duties. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and phone or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help with anxiety, relationship patterns and building new coping skills.
