About Louise
Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing relationship pain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with mood difficulties and specific concerns such as postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm. Louise uses straightforward, practical ways to help people make sense of what they are feeling and find steps forward.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens without judging and encourages clients to find their own answers.
How Louise works
If talking feels hard, she offers creative options like drawing or expressive writing so people can communicate in other ways. Louise trained with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown by the NCPS credential. She brings five years of therapeutic experience alongside earlier roles in teaching, theatre and arts-based work.
That background shapes a flexible approach to helping people heal. In sessions she draws on several practical methods including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts techniques to each person rather than following a single rigid method.
Louise has additional training in trauma-focused work and expressive arts therapies. She also has experience supporting people with autism and long-term health conditions, and with concerns such as communication problems, domestic violence, and complicated grief. To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and then works alongside them to set small, manageable goals.
Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life as it changes.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space and helps people discover their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns, often helping with mood disorders and anxiety.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions and improve emotional connection to important relationships. It is often used when past hurts or attachment issues shape current reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods to suit those needs. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and straightforward ways to fit sessions into life. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more directly, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports short, paced reflections over time. These options make it easier to have regular, consistent contact with registered or accredited professionals and to continue work even when routines change.
