About Louise

Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleeping or eating problems, parenting pressures and career change. Her practice includes work around attachment, abandonment, codependency and other relational patterns.

Louise uses an integrative approach and describes her methods as a toolkit. She adapts what she offers to each person rather than using one fixed style.

Background and approach

Sessions are client-led and focus on practical steps that people can take between meetings. Her work draws on a mix of talking therapies including cognitive behavioural ideas, client-centred listening and attachment-focused methods. She also uses trauma-focused techniques and brief, solution-focused ways of working when that suits the issue.

This lets her address both current problems and the patterns behind them. Louise has six years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

International clients are accepted and online formats are available. People can expect a straightforward style in sessions. Louise aims to create space to name what is difficult and to try approaches that reduce distress.

She will work with each person to agree goals and practical steps that feel achievable. For someone wanting clarity or relief from painful patterns, she blends listening, practical exercises and trauma-informed techniques to help people move forward.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Louise draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life change. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing past traumatic events and reducing their ongoing hold on daily life; it can help with symptoms that follow abuse or significant loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current bonds and communication, which is helpful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through what a person wants to achieve and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues appear.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or want to track progress over time. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel while still using therapeutic techniques such as ACT exercises, trauma processing tools and attachment-focused discussion.
