Louise Baxter helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, issues with self-esteem, grief, eating and sleeping problems, addiction concerns, and challenges linked to parenting or career changes. Louise works with a broad range of emotional and life struggles, including ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries.

She describes her practice as a toolkit approach. That means she draws on different methods and picks what seems most useful for each person.

Background and approach

Sessions are client-led so conversations follow what matters to the individual rather than a pre-set agenda. Louise uses well-known approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical ways to do things differently.

Therapy can include talking, gentle exercises and focused techniques for specific problems. With six years' experience she has worked with complex and painful issues including bereavement, family dynamics and past abuse. Her additional interests include attachment difficulties, codependency, body image, dissociation and forgiveness.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials as listed. Louise offers sessions in English and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Conversations are straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people build small changes that add up to better day-to-day coping.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that fit those values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It aims to increase awareness of attachment needs and to change unhelpful relational patterns, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment fears and family problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that might fit. The decision about which way to proceed is collaborative and can change as needs do.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer, in-depth conversations while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practical coaching or keeping momentum between sessions. Together these formats provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
