Kathryn Taylor

Kathryn Taylor BACP brings a long career in leadership to her counselling and coaching practice. She moved from senior roles in logistics into helping people with stress, relationships, work pressures and life changes. Her background makes her comfortable talking about workplace demands and the push to balance work and home life.

She trained as a coach in 2011 and studied behavioural analysis in 2013, later qualifying as a counsellor that year. Kathryn set up her own practice in 2017 to focus on the work she found most meaningful. She uses an integrative approach, adapting how she works to suit each person.

Clients often explore anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions and anger. She also supports people with career and executive coaching, leadership development, motivation and goal setting. Kathryn aims for steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.

In sessions she blends person-centred conversation with evidence-based tools. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioural work, gentle emotionally-focused conversation and mindfulness to help manage thoughts and feelings. Motivational interviewing can be used when people want help making changes.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, relationships, caregiver stress, infidelity, domestic violence, midlife transition and compassion fatigue. Kathryn works with individuals to set clear goals and practical steps that fit their lives.

She has twelve years' experience in counselling alongside prior leadership roles. Kathryn sees her role as listening, reflecting and offering tools people can use between sessions to make everyday life more manageable.

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and priorities to help people find their own solutions. This suits issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, anger and depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and naming emotions and improving emotional response. It can help people who want to understand recurring patterns in relationships and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or weekly appointments during a lunch break.
