Louise Taylor
Practical support for relationship and trauma concerns
About Louise
Louise Taylor helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She presents herself in a straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Louise holds NCPS, which stands for the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and has five years' experience in counselling work.
Her background is varied. Before training as a counsellor she worked as an actor, a dance and drama teacher, and as a lecturer in a college for adults with learning disabilities and autism.
Background and approach
She also assisted an art therapist in Singapore and supported university students with mental health needs. These roles inform her flexible, person-focused approach. Louise uses a blend of methods rather than a single model.
She draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused ways of working, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She also offers expressive options such as drawing, writing or movement when talking feels difficult. She has undertaken additional training to work safely with trauma and with people affected by addiction, self-harm, and sexual abuse among other concerns.
This extra training supports her to adapt sessions to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Her style is warm and practical - she listens without judging and helps people find their own next steps toward feeling steadier.

How Louise's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It uses listening, reflection and acceptance to help people feel heard and begin to make changes. This suits relationship worries, low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with mood problems, anxiety and some trauma-related symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns in close relationships, helping people understand and change interaction patterns that cause pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the person's needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls let the therapist and client use facial cues and tone, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step problem solving, or when someone finds it easier to type than talk. These options make it simpler to work around busy lives and varying energy levels while using the same therapeutic methods discussed above.
