Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She speaks plainly and encourages people to find practical ways forward. Louise holds NCPS, which is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society registration.

She frames sessions around what each person needs. Conversations are relaxed and down-to-earth. If talking feels hard, she uses creative options like drawing, expressive writing, movement or music to help people say what matters.

Background and approach

Louise trained in person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques, and also uses emotionally-focused approaches and mindfulness. She combines these with brief solution-focused methods so sessions stay practical and oriented to change. Before counselling she worked as an actor, a dance and drama teacher, and taught adults with learning differences and autism spectrum conditions.

She also assisted an art therapist in Singapore and supported university students with mental health difficulties. These roles shaped her creative, flexible approach. She has completed postgraduate study in counselling and psychology and additional training in trauma-focused practice.

That training supports work with issues such as post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and self-harm. Louise aims to build a respectful space where people can work through painful memories and find new ways to cope. In session she offers a calm, collaborative style.

She listens without judgement and helps people identify small changes that make life more manageable. Practical tools, creativity and steady support are central to her work.

Approaches that suit online counselling and everyday life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping them feel heard and understood. It suits people who need a calm space to talk and to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers simple tools to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions and repair connection, which can be useful for relationship pain and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss options with the person and try different ways to see what fits. The aim is a collaborative plan that matches goals, pace and how someone prefers to work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people see facial cues and use expressive exercises, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or when someone finds words easier in text. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
