Louise Baxter
Calm, practical therapy for life challenges
About Louise
Louise Baxter helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger, career decisions, bipolar challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes. Louise is named in this profile and brings six years of experience to her work.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.
Background and approach
Louise uses a flexible, client-led approach. She listens first, then offers techniques that fit each person. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.
Practical tools are mixed with space to reflect and make sense of emotions. Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred conversations, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix allows her to address relationships, patterns of thinking, emotional responses and past hurts in different ways.
She adapts methods to a person’s goals rather than applying a single model. Louise pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems, as well as issues like body image, codependency and blended-family tensions. She also works with dissociation, domestic violence impacts and forgiveness work.
The aim is to reduce distress and increase practical coping skills. Sessions can include talking, behavioural tasks and focused exercises for change. People can expect a calm, respectful space to try out new ways of relating and managing strong feelings.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and moving through life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in close relationships.Louise uses a client-centred stance alongside these methods, which means she prioritises the person in front of her and works collaboratively. Together they will discuss what feels most useful and try approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel, and to continue work with a therapist when circumstances change. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to each format so therapy stays focused on progress and practical coping.
