About Louise

Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, parenting pressures, work stress and neurodiverse challenges such as ADHD. Louise works with people on intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career change and coping with big life transitions.

Her style is practical and client-led. She describes her work as an integrative approach - a toolkit of methods chosen with the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions are intended to be calm and focused, with space to talk, reflect and try different ways of managing difficult feelings. Louise uses a mix of well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and attachment-based methods. She also draws on emotionally-focused ways of working and client-centred listening to help people understand patterns and make changes.

She holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and the NCPS credential. Louise has six years of clinical experience working across a range of common and complex issues. Sessions can be delivered online or by phone and she accepts international clients.

The initial steps to begin are simply to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit the client’s schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and when life changes make choices feel difficult. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and can reduce recurring conflict or distance. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Louise works collaboratively to decide which methods might help most, and she adjusts the mix over time to fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. You can expect to discuss how you respond to different ways of working and to set practical goals together.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls closely match face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around family, work or travel.
