About Louise
Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her manner is warm and creative, and she often uses non-verbal ways of working when talking feels difficult.
Her counselling style mixes practical tools and person-centred listening. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused methods alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.
Background and approach
Expressive approaches such as drawing, movement or writing are used when these feel helpful to the person. Before training in counselling, Louise’s background included acting, dance and drama teaching, college lecturing for adults with learning disabilities and autism spectrum conditions, and assisting art therapy work in Singapore.
She also supported university students through mental health challenges, bringing a varied practical experience to her work. Louise holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies and an NCPS registration. She also completed two Masters degrees in psychology and forensic psychology, and a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.
These qualifications inform a thoughtful, evidence-aware approach. She has five years’ counselling experience and has undertaken additional training in trauma-focused work, expressive arts, mindfulness and cognitive behavioural methods. Sessions aim to help people find their own answers, build coping strategies, and make steady steps towards change.

How Louise works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, mood problems and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions and patterns in relationships, so they can respond differently and feel more connected or understood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree together what to try first, adjusting methods to match needs, goals and preferences in an ongoing, collaborative way.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people also prefer creative exercises or written tasks between sessions to keep momentum between meetings.
