About Louise
Louise Lant is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She trained in the UK and brings eight years of professional experience to sessions. Parents and carers often find her approach straightforward and respectful.
She focuses on helping people find their own answers rather than telling them what to do. Louise emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the heart of the work. She aims to build a trusting space where people can say what they really think and feel.
Background and approach
That trust helps when addressing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the strain that parenting can bring. Her practice draws on person-centred foundations alongside strategies from solution-focused, compassion-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches. She explains options clearly and adapts techniques to each person’s needs.
The aim is practical progress, such as calmer reactions, clearer boundaries or improved day-to-day coping. Louise has supported people through life changes, midlife reflection and issues around purpose and isolation. She also helps with communication problems and control issues that can affect relationships.
Work can include short-term problem-solving or longer conversations about self-worth and direction. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She works with people across the United Kingdom and describes counselling as a collaborative process.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs.
What Louise works with
Everything Louise lists, in their own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Louise helps people with.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Person-centred counselling focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It gives people space to be honest and to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is helpful for building confidence and resolving issues that feel personal or confusing.Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and solutions. They help when someone wants quicker changes, clearer goals or a plan to manage daily stresses. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer tools to change unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, set goals together and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life and work commitments, and to keep regular contact when that helps progress.
