About Louise
Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She also supports clients with grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and challenges around parenting and work. Louise uses a client-led style so the first sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
She draws from a range of approaches rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect to talk through painful memories, try simple exercises to change unhelpful habits, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. Louise has six years' experience working with complex emotional issues and relational patterns.
Her practice emphasises building trust and understanding how early attachments shape current relationships. That focus often helps when people struggle with abandonment, attachment anxiety or codependency. Common tools she uses include acceptance and commitment ideas to notice values and take small steps, cognitive behavioural techniques to test and change thinking patterns, and emotionally-focused ways of working to repair hurt in relationships.
She may also draw on attachment-based ideas to clarify long-standing patterns. Clients can expect a relaxed, non-judgemental presence. Louise works in English and with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She is registered with BACP and NCPS and combines practical strategies with reflective conversation to help people move forward.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions towards those values. It uses simple exercises to shift focus away from painful thoughts and towards meaningful steps, which can be practised between sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers tools to test and change them. It often uses short exercises, worksheets and behavioural experiments that fit well into video or text-based work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when only audio is needed or bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, homework feedback or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping the focus on practical progress and regular support from a registered or accredited professional.
