About Louise
Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and brings five years of counselling experience to her work. Her sessions are calm and practical.
She listens first and helps people find ways to cope that fit their life. If talking is hard, she offers creative options like drawing or expressive writing to help people get words to feelings.
Background and approach
Louise draws on a range of approaches so she can adapt to each person. She uses client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses trauma-focused methods and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with distressing memories and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her background includes teaching, theatre, and working with adults who have learning differences and autism. That variety feeds into a practical, flexible style that suits people who prefer a creative or activity-based route into therapy as well as those who like more traditional talking work. Louise aims to make sessions non-judgemental and straightforward.
She does not give instructions about life choices but helps people explore their options and build coping skills. The goal is to support people as they find clearer ways forward and greater emotional balance.

How Louise brings trauma-informed and client-centred work online
Louise uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. That approach pays attention to safety, pacing, and grounding so people can work through painful material at a manageable pace.She also practises client-centred therapy which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. The counsellor listens deeply and reflects back what she hears, supporting each person to find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try out small changes that can improve mood and coping.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Louise will discuss options with each person, try methods that fit their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as work progresses. This collaborative process helps people find approaches that feel useful and sustainable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller back-and-forth. Phone sessions can work when less bandwidth is available or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing. These options help therapy fit around work, care duties, or mobility limitations while keeping the focus on practical support.
