About Louise

Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She specialises in relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Louise uses an approachable, creative style to help people find ways forward.

She keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Conversations centre on what matters to each person and on practical steps that feel manageable. If talking is hard, she can use drawing, expressive writing, movement or other creative ways to help people show what they mean.

Background and approach

Louise trained in person-centred counselling and has studied cognitive behavioural approaches and expressive therapies. She has also undertaken further training to work safely with trauma. Her background before counselling included acting, teaching dance and drama, lecturing in specialist further education, and supporting university students with mental health needs.

Her experience includes work with people affected by mood difficulties, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress and self-harm, and with those living with chronic pain, illness or disability. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, separation and domestic violence concerns. Louise brings creativity into therapeutic work through storytelling, improvisation and arts-based ideas.

Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and collaborative, helping each person find their own solutions and build confidence over time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in relationships and helps people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. It can be useful for improving emotional connection and managing hurt from the past. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and relies on empathic listening and acceptance to build trust and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage mood, anxiety and unhelpful behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful and will try different ways of working together. That collaborative process helps match an approach to the issues you bring and to your daily life.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expression and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing and people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and other commitments, and still allow a steady course of support with a registered professional.
