Louise Baxter, BACP, NCPS

Louise Baxter is an integrative psychotherapist who combines several therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are. She describes her practice as a toolkit - together with the client she explores different approaches and selects those most likely to help with the issue at hand. Her work is client-led and tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on building practical skills and insight to support meaningful change.

She has substantial experience addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationship and family dynamics, attachment concerns, self-esteem and motivation, among other complex mental health challenges. Louise offers trauma-focused interventions alongside cognitive and humanistic approaches, helping people process painful experiences and develop new strategies for coping and recovery.

Therapies offered include person-centred humanistic work that supports personal growth and self-awareness, cognitive behavioural techniques that examine thinking and behaviour patterns, trauma-focused methods including Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) for targeted change, solution-focused brief therapy that builds on existing strengths, and transactional analysis to increase understanding of communication styles.

Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating professional training and registration with recognised bodies. She provides a compassionate, client-led space for reflection and practical planning, and she invites questions about the therapy process and expectations to help people decide whether her approach is the right fit.
