Kathryn Taylor , BACP

Kathryn Taylor brings a rare combination of corporate leadership and therapeutic training to her counselling and coaching work. She spent more than twenty years in the logistics sector, advancing to senior executive and director roles where she was repeatedly recognised in industry top 100 lists and received a Leader of the Year award for her work mentoring, coaching, and developing people. That experience gives her a practical understanding of the pressures of leading teams, meeting targets, managing conflict, and pursuing work-life balance.

Her professional development began with coach training in 2011 and qualification as a behavioural analyst in 2013, followed by counsellor training completed in 2013. In 2017 she launched her private practice to focus on the aspects of her career she found most rewarding - supporting individuals and businesses through counselling and coaching. Kathryn is accredited by the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As an integrative counsellor she adapts her therapeutic style to suit each person, combining approaches to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. On the coaching side she works with employees and leaders at all levels to build confidence, improve management and leadership skills, clarify goals, and design strategic plans that deliver results.

Her practice supports clients with personal and workplace issues alike, offering tailored guidance on career transitions, relationship dynamics, motivation and goal setting, health and wellbeing, and spiritual matters. Kathryn aims to help people produce sustainable, lasting change by blending clinical insight with real-world leadership experience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Kathryn draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and valued - it can help with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful patterns.

She approaches treatment collaboratively - the therapeutic method is chosen together based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Kathryn works with clients to test what helps, adjust approaches as progress unfolds, and make sure the plan fits both therapeutic aims and day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional. Clients can meet by video, speak by phone, use live chat, or send messages for text-based sessions, which makes it easier to fit support around work, caregiving, or travel. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists to work with people across different locations while maintaining regular, structured contact to support meaningful change.
