Louise Baxter , BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter is a licensed integrative psychotherapist who draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person she works with. Holding BACP and NCPS credentials, she frames her practice as a practical toolkit - selecting approaches that best meet a client's presenting needs and goals. Louise combines structured therapies with humanistic, relational methods to help people find lasting change.

With six years of clinical experience, she has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma and bereavement, suicidal ideation, family and relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, self-esteem and motivation challenges, and other complex mental health issues. Her background includes work with addiction, grief, parenting and intimacy-related problems, as well as conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. She also addresses difficulties such as abandonment, codependency, dissociation and eating or sleeping problems.

Louise adopts a client-led orientation, placing the person and their priorities at the centre of the therapeutic process. She offers several approaches including person-centred and humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, trauma-focused methods such as Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), solution-focused brief therapy, and Transactional Analysis. Across these methods she aims to help clients identify strengths, reframe unhelpful patterns and build practical strategies for change.

She encourages open conversation about the therapy process and works collaboratively to create a plan that reflects each individual’s aims and circumstances.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being taken over by them, and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions because it builds psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation. It supports people working through trust, intimacy and abandonment issues by exploring relational experiences and developing new, healthier connection skills.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaboration. This approach helps people explore their own goals, build self-awareness and access their internal resources to move toward meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of support across locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
