About Louise

Louise Baxter is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship tensions, self-esteem problems, grief and a range of other life stresses. Louise accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Her approach is integrative. She describes her practice as a toolkit and selects methods that suit each person's needs. Clients can expect a client-led way of working where they set priorities and the pace of sessions.

Louise uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to look at emotions and relationship patterns. She also draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful. Practical work may include looking at unhelpful thoughts, emotional responses and communication patterns.

She has experience with more specific concerns such as ADHD, addiction, intimacy-related issues, body image and eating-related problems, abandonment and attachment difficulties, blended family issues and codependency. Louise also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue and coping with life transitions.

In sessions she may explore how earlier experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. She uses methods such as EFT to track emotional moments, ACT to clarify values and CBT techniques to change thinking and habits. The work aims to increase self-understanding and practical coping skills.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and interaction patterns. It can help when strong feelings or repeated patterns get in the way of relationships or personal wellbeing.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and small behaviour changes. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take practical steps that fit what matters to them.

Attachment-Based approaches explore how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This can be useful for people who notice recurring trust, closeness or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family life, having shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online help that makes it easier to maintain continuity between sessions and to practise new skills in day-to-day situations.
