About Louise
Louise Baxter offers support for common parenting strains and a wide range of related concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and difficult relationship patterns. She also works with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, anger, trauma and the challenges of major life changes.
Louise is based in the United Kingdom and has six years' experience as a counsellor. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and client-led. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual parent. Louise draws on a practical toolkit of therapies and adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed approach.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different patterns of behaviour. Attachment-Based ideas help explore how past relationships shape current parenting and intimacy concerns.
Louise also works in a person-centred way, offering a listening space where clients can reflect and find their own answers. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods support work on relationship and intimacy-related issues when those are included in sessions. Practical techniques from these approaches may be blended in one plan.
People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge and practical tasks between sessions when helpful. Louise accepts international clients and runs therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of behaving to reduce symptoms and build new habits. That approach often suits problems like low mood, sleep difficulties and some eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect parenting and intimacy now, offering ways to change interaction patterns and feel more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work together in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Text-based messaging or live chat can provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work breaks or travel while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
