Louise Baxter, BACP, NCPS
Calm, practical therapy with a somatic focus
About Louise
Louise Baxter is a psychotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems. She works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and supports those dealing with parenting strain and career change. Louise also offers support around ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related difficulties and LGBT matters.
Her approach is collaborative and client-led. She treats sessions as practical conversations where people can name what is hard and try small changes.
Background and approach
Louise describes her work as an integrative toolkit, drawing on different methods to suit each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She uses body-aware methods alongside talking therapy to help people notice how feelings show up physically and shift stuck patterns. Cognitive techniques help people test unhelpful thoughts, while attachment-focused work looks at how early relationships shape current habits.
Louise also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard and respected. Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has six years’ experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients internationally.
Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Louise invites straightforward questions about how therapy will work and what to expect.
How different approaches work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how emotions appear in the body and learn simple ways to ease physical tension. It can be useful for trauma, stress and situations where feelings feel stuck in the body.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than fighting thoughts.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication. It can help people understand repeated patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging let people choose what fits their life. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, keep continuity during life changes and use short check-ins when needed.
