Louise Baxter, BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter is a licensed integrative psychotherapist who draws on a range of therapeutic methods to fit each client’s unique needs. She describes her approach as a toolkit - through careful exploration she helps people identify which methods and techniques will best support their goals and recovery.

Her practice includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma and bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationship and family dynamics, attachment concerns, self-esteem and motivation, among other challenges. She has experience addressing complex presentations and focuses on helping clients build practical ways to manage feelings and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Louise offers a client-led approach that prioritises the individual’s pace and priorities, adapting interventions to suit what is most helpful in the moment. Her range of therapeutic options includes person-centred humanistic work that emphasises growth and choice, cognitive behavioural techniques that explore links between thoughts and behaviours, trauma-focused methods such as Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) that use eye movement to address distressing memories, solution-focused strategies that concentrate on strengths and future goals, and transactional analysis to increase awareness of communication patterns.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting recognised professional training and membership, and provides a supportive space where clients can discuss their needs and develop a clear plan for change. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions about the therapy process and set expectations together.

Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify their values and learn practical ways to live in line with what matters to them. It combines mindfulness and commitment strategies to help people face difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward meaningful goals, and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and how these influence current emotional needs and reactions. It aims to increase awareness of relational patterns and build more secure ways of connecting, which is useful for relationship issues, attachment concerns, and grief.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering an empathic, non-directive space where clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-development, self-esteem, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Louise will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to work effectively in a remote format.
