Louise Baxter, BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship difficulties. She supports those struggling with self‑esteem, addictive behaviours, grief, parenting pressures, intimacy concerns and career stress. Louise also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and eating or sleeping problems.

She uses a flexible, client‑led approach and calls her way of working an integrative toolkit. That means she selects methods that fit each person’s needs rather than offering one fixed style. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment‑based ideas. These methods are used to help people understand unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating and build values‑based goals. Louise also includes person‑centred listening and emotion‑focused work when helpful.

With six years' clinical experience she has worked with a wide range of mental health concerns. She is listed with BACP and NCPS, which are the credentials shown in her biography.

Louise encourages questions about the process and what to expect. She aims to make sessions straightforward and to help people put change into everyday life.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes by combining practical exercises with values work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.

Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach helps with intimacy issues, attachment concerns and patterns that affect relationships and self‑worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together rather than imposed by the counsellor.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It also lets people link therapy tasks to everyday life quickly, for example practising tools between sessions.
