About Louise

Louise Baxter is a counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports people facing trauma, grief, issues with intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as addiction, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain and career stress.

Louise uses a practical, client-led way of working. She listens first and helps people choose approaches that suit their situation. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and clearer understanding of feelings and behaviour.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of methods rather than one fixed model. That means Louise can combine emotion-focused work with cognitive tools, attachment ideas and acceptance-based techniques. She aims to match the approach to what each person brings to session.

With six years of experience, Louise has seen a wide range of difficulties including trauma, bereavement and ongoing mood problems. Her background includes work on attachment, abandonment issues and communication problems within families. She also supports people dealing with dissociation, codependency and control issues.

Louise is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Online options include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging for those who prefer them.

Online support

Approaches online that focus on emotion and acceptance

Emotion-Focused Therapy helps people tune into and understand their feelings. It explores what emotions are trying to tell you and how to respond differently in relationships and personal struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with difficult changes by building practical habits rather than chasing symptom removal. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult life. It can help with abandonment worries, trust issues and communication problems by working through how you connect with others. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and help you choose what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as you progress. Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters most. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflections or people who find typing easier than talking. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
