About Louise
Louise Baxter is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with trauma, grief, self-esteem and many life changes. She uses a client-led approach and focuses on what each person needs in the moment.
She describes her practice as an integrative toolkit. That means she draws on several approaches and chooses what fits the person rather than one fixed method. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, learn new ways of responding, and build skills for everyday life.
Background and approach
Louise has six years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where conversations guide the work. Practical exercises, reflective discussion and relationship-focused tasks are used as needed.
Her work often involves exploring attachment, communication and coping after loss or difficult events. She also supports people facing eating and sleeping problems, addiction, anger and career stress. Additional focuses include body image, codependency and blended family issues.
Sessions can include short-term goal work or longer-term exploration depending on what someone wants. Louise accepts international clients and runs sessions in English using a variety of online formats. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled from there.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and circumstances. That might mean trying short-term problem-focused work or slower exploration of attachment and patterns, and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can fit into a busy day and requires less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people schedule sessions around work, travel or family life while keeping therapy consistent.
