About Louise

Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks, as well as depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with trauma and bereavement, issues with self-esteem, addictions, and life changes. Louise uses a client-led approach so sessions focus on each person’s priorities and goals.

Her practice combines several talking therapies to match what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and humanistic or client-centred methods to build on a person’s strengths. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and early experiences are relevant.

Louise describes her work as a toolkit. She and the client explore different methods and choose the ones that fit best. That can mean practical exercises, noticing patterns in relationships, or steps to reduce panic and manage anxiety day to day.

She trained and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and has six years of experience working in the field. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients based in other countries.

People who want to start are invited to use the platform Start Therapy process, complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule. Louise encourages questions about the therapy process so people know what to expect before they begin.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, and choosing actions that matter despite them. It can help with anxiety, panic and finding ways to live by personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses small, practical steps to change patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with recurring relationship hurt and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and try different techniques to see what fits. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people in different countries to work together, and supports using tools like guided exercises, between-session tasks and practical planning in everyday life.
