About Louise

Louise Baxter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career concerns and life changes.

Background and approach

Louise works with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal issues including attachment, intimacy-related worries, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her style is collaborative and practical.

She describes her practice as an integrative toolkit and adapts methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, with clear steps and an emphasis on small, manageable change.

Louise draws on several recognised approaches including the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses these methods to help people build healthier patterns, notice unhelpful thoughts, and practise new ways of relating.

With six years of experience, she combines focused therapeutic techniques with a supportive, person-led pace. Louise is registered with BACP and NCPS which are listed credentials in her professional profile.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapy is arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Louise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her integrative toolkit. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and aims to help people understand and change how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Louise will talk through what matters most to the client, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide which methods are used together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins or busy days, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity between sessions.
