More about Nigel
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
My name is Nigel Baxter and I have been a counsellor/therapist for over 10 years, with 450+ hours of client experience at a GP practice. I have worked with clients with various issues, and across a vast age group, with the client being the expert on themselves being a strong premise first and foremost. I work to the client's needs, while also challenging, when appropriate, and with sensitivity.
I am a Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and as such, within in their guidelines, I train for at least 30 hours per year, although this is generally surpassed as there are new developments and constant learning to do. I have a Diploma in Counselling Studies, recognised by the BACP, as well as various certificates, as my continuous professional development has progressed. I also see a supervisor, monthly, for one and a half hours.
Put most simply I work strongly alongside the client using Rogers' core conditions, of unconditional positive regard, empathy, congruence (although I use other "techniques" and theories as, if and when, needed by the person I am privileged to be working/walking alongside.)

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
