Louise Devereux

Louise Devereux is a UK-based counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She offers a calm, listening presence so clients can begin to talk about painful things. Louise aims to help people find clearer ways to manage grief, relationships and everyday stress.

She works from a person-centred way of counselling. That means she follows the client’s pace and focuses on what matters most to them. In sessions she encourages honest conversation about bereavement, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and life changes.

Louise is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She brings three years of counselling experience and has worked with people dealing with loss, motivation difficulties and confidence concerns. Her background supports practical, straightforward conversations rather than complex theory.

In the room she emphasises empathy and non-judgemental listening. She helps people voice thoughts and feelings they find hard to say. Over time this can lead to greater self-reflection and the chance to try different ways of coping.

People often seek her support for parenting strain, workplace pressure and midlife doubts as well as the experience of isolation and loneliness. If you are thinking about counselling, Louise encourages a simple first step of talking about what you want to change and what might help right now.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres on being heard and understood. It involves a counsellor offering empathy, acceptance and careful listening so the client can make sense of thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people dealing with grief, relationship strain, isolation or low self-esteem because it focuses on the person’s own priorities rather than a set technique.

Louise will collaborate with each person to find what feels right. Together they discuss goals, try different ways of talking about issues and adapt the style as needed. Deciding on the best approach is part of the work and happens over the first few sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, remove travel time and allow check-ins between appointments. Different formats also suit different needs - for example, a shorter phone check-in can be useful after a difficult day, while a longer video session can allow deeper conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh these choices and arrange sessions that fit everyday life.
