About Louise Taylor
Louise Catherine Taylor is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). With five years of experience, she supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.
Before training in counselling, Louise worked across a range of creative and educational roles, including acting, dance and drama teaching, lecturing at a specialist college for adults with learning disabilities and autism spectrum conditions, assisting an art therapist in Singapore, and providing tuition and mentoring to university students experiencing mental health difficulties. These varied backgrounds inform her compassionate and adaptable way of working.
Her therapeutic style is eclectic and creative, drawing on person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques, and expressive arts such as drawing, music, movement and story making. She has completed extensive additional training to work safely with trauma, including Applied Emotional Freedom Technique and courses in trauma-informed practice, addictions, mindfulness, couple therapy and working with suicidal ideation and self-harm.
Louise is also active outside therapy in martial arts, running, yoga and Playback Theatre, and she brings that creativity into sessions. She listens without judgment, offers non-directive support, and uses alternative expressive methods when talking is difficult so that no special artistic skill is required.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Louise Taylor
Louise commonly draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical strategies to address anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to support people coping with attachment difficulties and relationship distress, helping clients understand and reshape emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Louise collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work progresses so the plan reflects the client rather than a fixed model.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different lifestyles and communication styles. These formats can make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life changes, and use creative exercises or expressive tools even when meeting remotely, while therapists and licensed professionals work together with clients to make the process comfortable and effective.
