Louise Taylor, NCPS

Louise Taylor is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She works in a direct, creative way and aims to make talking about hard things feel less overwhelming.

Louise brings five years of counselling experience to her practice. Before training as a counsellor she worked in theatre, teaching and mentoring, and supported adults with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum conditions. That background shapes a flexible style that values creativity and practical skills.

Her approach draws on person-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness, and offers expressive options like drawing or writing when words are difficult. Sessions are shaped around what the client finds most helpful rather than a single set of rules.

Louise holds an NCPS registration with a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies and further qualifications in psychology and counselling practice. She has undertaken additional training in trauma work, expressive arts therapies and mindfulness.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where small steps are valued. Louise aims to help people find their own answers while offering practical tools for managing mood, stress and difficult memories.

To begin, prospective clients follow the Start Therapy process on the site and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to availability.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions; this helps with relationship problems and low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical steps to manage mood, anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and repair connections that matter in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will work collaboratively to decide what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions typically review what is most pressing and try out methods so the client can see what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life because it reduces travel and can be scheduled around work or childcare. It also allows brief check-ins where useful, and offers ways to use creative tasks, written work or breathing exercises between sessions to build steady progress.
