I am a licensed integrative psychotherapist which means that I use various modalities in my practice that are most suitable to your needs, I describe this as a tool kit and through exploration i will support you in finding the best tool/tools for your needs.
I have extensive experience working with various complex issues relating to mental health such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationships & family dynamics as well as attachment, self esteem/worth, motivation as well as many more.
My practice focuses solely on you and your needs through a client lead approach.
Types of therapy I offer are :
*Person centred/ Humanistic therapy*
Humanistic therapies focus on self-development, growth and responsibilities to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choice. By working with a humanistic counsellor, you are supported in identifying and overcoming any blocks that are preventing you from achieving your full potential.
*Cognitive behaviour therapy, CBT*
Behavioural therapies are centred around understanding how we think (cognitive) and/or the way we behave. These therapeutic approaches recognise that it is possible to change, or recondition, our thoughts or behaviour to overcome specific problems.
*Trauma focused therapy*
Integral eye movement therapy (IEMT) helps bring about rapid change through the use of eye movement and helps you address and resolve the question, "how did this person learn to feel the way they feel about the things that they feel bad about?"

* Solution focused therapy*
Solution-focused therapy (SFBT) also known as solution-focused brief therapy or brief therapy, is an approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. While it acknowledges present problems and past causes, SFBT predominantly explores an individual's current resources and future hopes. This can help you look forward and use their own strengths to achieve your goals.
*Transactional Analysis* this is known also know as TA, TA is a psychoanalytic theory which helps provide understanding communication styles and behaviours in ourselves and others, this method helps you become more aware and able to analyse the process of transactions in communication with others, creating self awareness of how you think, feel and behave.
I provide a safe and confidential space for you to discuss your needs and formulate a plan to help you achieve the life you want. I believe the best investment you can make is in yourself and I am there to support you through your journey.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about the therapy process and your expectations.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Louise Baxter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Louise is an absolutely wonderful therapist. I feel comfortable sharing anything with her and she is a fantastic listener. She provides perspectives that I would not have initially thought of, which allows me to view things in a healthier way. I would highly recommend Louise to anybody looking for a friendly therapist.
