When plotting with custom labels, the ticks on both axes can overlap:

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}, FrameTicks -> {{{{0, Rotate["Low", Pi/2]}, {1,Rotate["High", Pi/2]}}, None}, {{{0, "Low"}, {1, "High"}}, None}}, LabelStyle -> 20, PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}]

enter image description here

I know I can use ImageMargins to fix it ad-hoc as discussed in this thread

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}, FrameTicks -> {{{{0, Rotate[Pane["Low", ImageMargins -> {{20, 0}, {0, 0}}], Pi/2]}, {1, Rotate["High", Pi/2]}}, None}, {{{0, Pane["Low", ImageMargins -> {{20, 0}, {0, 0}}]}, {1, "High"}}, None}}, LabelStyle -> 20, PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}]

but this is very much contingent on current settings of font size etc., so I was wondering if there is a way to actually use left justify to make it always work.

A very simple, low-tech solution is put spaces into the "Low" labels. Like so:

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}, FrameTicks -> {{{{0, Rotate[" Low", Pi/2]}, {1, Rotate["High", Pi/2]}}, None}, {{{0, " Low"}, {1, "High"}}, None}}, LabelStyle -> 20, PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}]
