About Louise
Louise Baxter helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and challenges with intimacy. Her practice also covers sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career worries, ADHD and coping with major life changes.
Louise uses a client-led approach. She listens first, then suggests approaches matched to each person's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded.
The focus is on small, manageable steps that add up to real change.
How Louise works
She draws from several well-known therapies to build a toolkit that fits each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Attachment-based ideas help untangle patterns that began in early relationships.
Client-centred work puts the person’s own goals at the heart of the sessions. Louise has six years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those letters are kept when describing professional standing.
She works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who can use online formats. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule sessions according to availability.

How different approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and encourages action based on personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes by helping people focus on what matters and take small steps towards it.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This work helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and supports new ways of relating and feeling safer with others.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit those who want a supportive, exploratory space.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the work progresses. This keeps the work tailored and collaborative rather than rigid.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller session experience. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer to write or who need more frequent, brief check-ins between longer sessions.
