Louise Baxter , BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter is a licensed integrative psychotherapist who blends several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are. She frames her work as a practical toolkit, selecting methods that best suit an individual’s needs and helping clients explore which tools bring the most benefit. Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting professional training and recognised registration within counselling and psychotherapy bodies in the United Kingdom.

Over six years she has worked with a wide range of complex issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationship and family dynamics, attachment difficulties, self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also addresses eating and sleeping problems, addictions, parenting and blended family challenges, intimacy and communication concerns, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD and compassion fatigue, among other areas.

Her approach is client-led, prioritising the person’s priorities and pace. She offers person-centred humanistic work that fosters self-development and personal agency, cognitive behavioural techniques to help reframe unhelpful thinking and behaviours, trauma-focused methods such as Integral Eye Movement Therapy for specific trauma responses, solution-focused strategies to build on strengths, and Transactional Analysis to clarify communication patterns. Louise collaborates with people to create clear plans and practical steps toward the life they want, and she welcomes questions about the therapy process and expectations.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Louise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns that developed early in life and how they influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach supports people working with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy concerns and family or relationship difficulties.

Louise approaches choices about therapy collaboratively, recognising that finding the right method is part of the process. She works with clients to weigh different options and select approaches that fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access skilled, licensed professionals from their own location and to continue therapy through life changes or when in-person meetings are not practical.
