About Louise
Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, and related concerns such as low self‑esteem, relationship strain and grief. She works in a direct, client-led way and aims to make sessions feel practical and understandable for someone juggling family life or work. Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has six years' experience in mental health support.
Her approach is flexible. She draws on a toolkit of methods and chooses what fits each person's needs.
Background and approach
That might mean talking through unhelpful thought patterns one week, or focusing on emotional memories another week. Sessions are guided by the person's priorities rather than a fixed formula. Louise commonly helps with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
She also offers support around attachment and abandonment issues, body image and codependency. Practical life matters such as career change, parenting pressures and coping with big life transitions are included too. In therapy she uses straightforward exercises alongside reflective conversation.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to name and shift thoughts and behaviours. Attachment work looks at patterns in important relationships to help people feel steadier. Emotionally focused ideas aim to deepen emotional understanding and repair where needed.
Sessions can be delivered remotely by video, phone or text-based formats to suit different routines. People who live outside the UK may also work with her. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once matched.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to small steps in the direction someone cares about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to test and change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop steadier ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This might mean blending ideas, trying a short practical exercise, or focusing on emotional processing until the person feels ready to move on to different tasks.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel without losing continuity of care.
