About Louise
Louise Baxter is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on common pressures young adults face such as anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with trauma, grief, addictions and issues linked to identity including LGBT concerns.
Louise uses a client-centred approach that lets the person set the pace. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. She draws on a range of methods and picks the ones that are most useful for the problem being worked on.
Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are brought in when emotions and closeness are the main concerns.
For trauma and distress she integrates trauma-focused work and techniques designed to reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions. She describes her overall style as integrative, combining person-centred listening with clear strategies to move forward.
Sessions tend to start with some practical goal-setting and a look at daily routines that affect mood and stress. Later work can include understanding attachment patterns, improving communication, building self-worth, and practical steps for managing sleep, eating and motivation. Clients are invited to ask questions and shape their plan as therapy progresses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling uncertain about life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repeated ways of relating that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through methods and decide together which suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as therapy progresses and different techniques can be tried if something is not helpful.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets, values exercises from ACT, and attachment-focused conversations in the same way as in-person therapy, with the therapist guiding which tools to use.
