About Louise

BACP, NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. Louise Baxter helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of related issues including addiction, grief, self-esteem, parenting, and ADHD.

Louise works from an integrative perspective and describes her practice as a toolkit. She uses different methods and looks with each person at what fits best. Sessions are client-led, with the person setting the focus and pace of work.

Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods are used to address mood problems, relationship patterns, trauma responses and everyday coping skills.

Louise also draws on ideas from trauma-focused work and interpersonal models to help with attachment, communication problems and difficulties that come from past hurt or loss. She names tools such as solution-focused techniques and transactional analysis to spot how interactions and thinking patterns keep problems going.

Work in sessions is practical and conversational. People can expect exploration of thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and experiments or exercises to try between meetings. Louise invites questions about the process and works with each person to build a plan that fits their goals.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. It often uses simple exercises to clarify values and build small, practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and on how early connections affect current trust, closeness and conflict. It can be useful for relationship strain and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy (also known as person-centred) puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and supports self-directed reflection and choice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and use that discussion to choose which methods to try. That process is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and offer ways to continue work between appointments. Some methods translate well to remote conversations and short check-ins, while others can use exercises or written tasks between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often adapt materials and pacing for remote sessions so the work fits everyday life.
