About Louise
Counsellor (NCPS), 5 years' experience. Louise Taylor helps people dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She uses a mix of talking and creative methods and adapts her approach to each person's needs.
Louise trained in person-centred counselling and has study in cognitive behavioural approaches. She has also trained in expressive arts methods such as drawing, movement and story-making, and uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when helpful. She says creative work can help when talking is difficult, and reassures people no artistic skill is needed.
Before becoming a counsellor Louise worked in theatre and education. Roles included actor, dance and drama teacher, college lecturer for adults with learning disabilities and autism spectrum conditions, and art therapy assistant in Singapore. She also supported university students with mental health challenges through tuition and mentoring.
Her additional training covers trauma-focused work, emotional freedom techniques, couple therapy for depression, and approaches for working with addiction, self-harm and personality adaptations. These courses inform how she plans sessions and manages distress when it arises.
Sessions combine listening, structured exercises and creative tasks when useful. Clients set goals and Louise uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural work and solution-focused conversations to track progress. She invites people to try different ways of working to find what helps them make practical changes.

How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions; it helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem and processing loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and behaviour-focused tasks to address patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and changing emotional responses in close relationships to improve communication and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try methods collaboratively. That might mean using CBT worksheets for a few sessions, alternating with creative tasks, or focusing on emotions in relationships depending on what the client finds most useful.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work or caring duties and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without needing to travel. It also lets clients use creative tools such as drawing or expressive writing during a session when that suits the work.
