About Louise
Counsellor Louise Baxter is a BACP and NCPS member with six years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues, among other areas. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Louise uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on different methods and picks tools that suit each person. She describes therapy as client-led and focuses on what matters to the individual in front of her.
Her practice includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas. She also uses trauma-focused methods and other brief, solution-oriented techniques when these fit the issue.
In a first meeting she will listen to current concerns, talk through what has and hasn't helped, and outline possible ways to work together. Sessions aim to clarify goals, reduce distress and build practical strategies for day-to-day life.
Louise has experience dealing with complex presentations including bereavement, self-harm thoughts, attachment problems and family conflict. She offers a steady, structured approach that concentrates on present problems and achievable steps forward.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Louise uses different counselling approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and difficulty making changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early connections shape current patterns. This can help when trust, closeness or abandonment issues affect how someone relates to others.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, which can help people explore feelings and make clearer choices about next steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Louise will discuss different approaches and make decisions together based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as work proceeds so the approach stays relevant.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities and worksheets to an online setting so this practical work continues across sessions.
