Louise Baxter

Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and loneliness. She works with issues including trauma, grief, addiction and challenges around intimacy and eating. Her approach is client-led and practical, focusing on what the person wants to change.

Louise draws on a toolkit of approaches rather than a single method. She uses client-centred work to listen without judgement and to build on a person’s strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and attachment-informed work to understand how early relationships shape current connections.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Louise emphasises small, manageable steps and practical strategies to ease day-to-day life while also addressing deeper patterns when needed. She encourages people to notice what helps and to develop personal resources for coping.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience and she holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She accepts people in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients in English. Costs vary depending on location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Louise welcomes questions about the process and what to expect.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT can support stress, anxiety and life changes by teaching practical ways to live with difficult experiences while moving towards what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and patterns. In online sessions this can help people understand loneliness, trust issues and intimacy difficulties by mapping patterns and trying new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own strengths. Delivered remotely, it creates space to talk things through and to build confidence and self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That may mean combining approaches from session to session and checking in to see what is helping.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes it easier to attend from different locations and allows more flexible scheduling. For some, phone or shorter check-ins are useful when video is not needed, while longer video sessions suit deeper work. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you match with a counsellor.
