About Louise

Louise Taylor NCPS is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. Conversations focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different ways to respond. When talking is difficult she offers expressive options such as drawing, movement or writing so people can find other ways to be understood.

Louise combines several methods rather than following a single protocol. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindful practices and solution-focused techniques. She has undertaken extra training in trauma-focused approaches and in Emotional Freedom Technique for working with stuck emotions.

Her background before counselling includes work in theatre, teaching dance and drama, lecturing at a specialist college for adults with learning disabilities or autism, and assisting art therapy work overseas. This practical experience informs how she adapts sessions for different communication styles and needs.

Sessions aim to be clear and down-to-earth. People can expect collaborative planning, short-term goals when useful, and creative options if talking alone feels limited. Louise asks about the problem, tries simple experiments in thinking and behaviour, and reviews what helps most as therapy progresses.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Louise draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses, which suits practical problems like low mood, anxiety and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person's experience and uses reflective listening to help them find their own solutions.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are a concern, helping people notice interaction habits and try specific new ways of relating. These methods are presented plainly and adapted to the person's pace and communication style. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and the therapist will work with the client to agree goals and methods based on needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or choosing not to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and short behavioural experiments so they work across distance and help people test what changes are useful in day-to-day situations.
