Louise Baxter, BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter is an integrative psychotherapist who draws on a wide range of therapeutic methods to meet each person's unique needs. She frames her approach as a toolkit, exploring different techniques with clients to identify the most helpful strategies for their situation. With six years of professional experience, Louise has worked with complex issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationship and family dynamics, attachment concerns, self-esteem and motivation.

Her practice is client-led, with sessions shaped around each individual's priorities and pace. Louise offers person-centred humanistic therapy that supports self-development and choice, and cognitive behavioural therapy which targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. For trauma work she uses trauma-focused approaches including forms of eye movement work designed to reduce the emotional charge associated with distressing memories. She also uses solution-focused methods to build on current strengths and transactional analysis to clarify communication styles and interaction patterns.

Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating professional recognition and completion of relevant training in counselling and psychotherapy. She provides a respectful therapeutic space where people can explore their concerns and develop practical plans to move forward. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions about the therapy process and what to expect during sessions.
