Kathryn Taylor , BACP

Kathryn Taylor brings a rare combination of corporate leadership and therapeutic training to her work, drawing on an award-winning logistics career that spanned over twenty years. She was recognised repeatedly in industry top 100 lists and received a Leader of the Year award for her work supporting, mentoring, coaching and developing people at director level. This executive background gives her a clear understanding of the pressures of working in large organisations, leading teams, meeting targets and managing workplace conflict while trying to maintain a work-life balance.

She qualified as a coach in 2011 and trained as a behavioural analyst in 2013, then completed counselling qualifications the same year. In 2017 she established her own practice offering both counselling and coaching, combining these skills to support individuals and businesses. Kathryn works in an integrative way, adapting her methods to fit each person she sees and helping clients pursue sustainable, lasting change.

On the counselling side she supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement, relationship and family issues, addictions, eating concerns and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. On the coaching side she works with employees from first-line managers to executives to develop leadership, influence, strategic planning and team-building skills. She holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings practical experience and organisational insight to therapeutic and coaching work.

Approaches Kathryn Uses for Online Support

Kathryn commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions - it is helpful for issues around self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, which can be effective for couple work and intimacy-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn explores a client’s needs, goals and preferences and adapts her methods so that therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in deciding how to work together.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support across distances. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and the chance to continue therapeutic work when in-person meetings are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to apply established approaches effectively in an online setting.
