About Louise
Louise Taylor is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years' counselling experience and works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her sessions tend to be practical and expressive. She uses talking, creative activities and structured techniques so people can find words for hard emotions. If speaking feels difficult, she offers drawing, expressive writing and other creative ways to communicate.
Louise trained in person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy, and she lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches. She has undertaken additional trauma-related training and has experience supporting people after sexual assault and other abuse.
Before qualifying she worked as an actor, a dance and drama teacher, a lecturer at a specialist college for adults with learning disabilities and autism, and assisted an art therapist in Singapore. She also mentored university students with mental health difficulties, which informs her practical, flexible style.
Clients can expect a counsellor who uses creativity alongside talking therapies. Sessions combine listening, reflective questions and hands-on exercises when helpful. Louise says she will not tell clients what to do but will help them notice patterns and develop ways of coping.
Outside work she practises martial arts, runs and does yoga, and performs with a Playback Theatre company. These creative interests feed into how she works therapeutically, especially for people who find verbal expression hard.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name feelings and change the ways they respond in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can find their own solutions; it suits people who need space to talk through personal difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves structured exercises and practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Louise will look at the concerns, your goals and what feels manageable, and then suggest ways of working. That choice is discussed together rather than imposed, and can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is needed. They can also allow people to use audio-only contact if they prefer less screen time, or incorporate creative tasks such as drawing or writing between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find these options help maintain continuity of care while working around everyday commitments.
