About Louise
Louise Baxter helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports issues around grief, parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Louise works with a client-led approach that focuses on each person’s priorities and goals.
She uses a practical toolkit of approaches rather than a single fixed method. That means sessions can include client-centred work, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural strategies and emotion-focused elements depending on what a person needs. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters to the individual.
Louise has six years’ experience in mental health work and holds membership with BACP and NCPS. She draws on that background when helping people make small, manageable changes to daily life. Her practice emphasises discovering personal strengths and building on them step by step.
In the room she helps people notice patterns in thinking and relating, and then tries different practical steps to shift those patterns. This might mean focusing on values and actions, exploring attachment experiences, or practising new ways of reacting to stress. The aim is to find approaches that fit the person’s life and goals.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then scheduling is arranged according to availability.
How different approaches can work online
Client-centred therapy places the person’s own priorities at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. It can be useful for building self-understanding, confidence and motivation around many life challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, depression or major life changes.
Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationships affect how people relate now. This approach can help when patterns in close relationships or attachment wounds are causing distress.
Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through options, try different methods where useful, and together decide what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, check which formats the counsellor currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different ways of working from wherever they are based, while the counsellor helps adapt exercises and interventions to an online setting.
