Louise Taylor

Louise Taylor is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship breakdown, grief, trauma and shifts in self-worth. She works with anxiety, depression and the fallout of abuse and can support people navigating divorce and separation. Louise uses straightforward language and encourages practical steps you can try between sessions.

Her approach is flexible and centred on the person in front of her. She trained in person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural methods and draws on expressive arts when talking is hard. That means conversation might be mixed with drawing, movement or writing when that feels useful.

Louise completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies and holds an NCPS registration. She also has master's level study in psychology and further certificates that inform her work with trauma and complex loss.

Before qualifying she worked as an actor, dance and drama teacher, a lecturer for adults with learning disabilities and autism, and assisted an art therapist in Singapore. Those roles shape a creative, practical style in sessions and a calm, down-to-earth way of working.

She aims to help people feel heard and to find steps that make daily life easier. If speaking is difficult, she offers non-verbal options like drawing or expressive writing. The focus is on helping each person discover what works for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping you find your own pace and answers; online sessions let that same open conversation continue where it fits into your week. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical experiments and homework to try between meetings; this translates well to remote sessions because tasks and goals can be set and reviewed easily.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest ways of working to try. Decisions about pace and methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce the time spent travelling and help people try therapy from a familiar daily routine while still working with a registered professional.
