Kathryn Taylor, BACP

Kathryn Taylor brings 12 years of counselling and coaching experience to her practice. She moved from a long corporate career into helping individuals find clear, practical ways to feel better and move forward. Her work is grounded in everyday language and straightforward aims. Kathryn is a BACP member, which she uses to guide professional standards in her practice.

She draws on a background as a senior executive and leader to understand workplace pressures and the push to meet targets. That experience helps when talking about stress, career decisions, and balancing work with life. Kathryn also supports people dealing with relationship pain, grief, trauma, addictions and low mood.

Her approach is adaptable. She blends talking therapies with coaching techniques to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, spotting unhelpful patterns and trying practical steps between meetings. Kathryn uses CBT, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness tools alongside a client-centred stance.

People often come to her for help with self-esteem, coping with change, intimacy issues and parenting-related stress. She also works with those facing abandonment, codependency, infidelity, blended-family pressures and midlife transitions. Conversations aim to be direct but warm, and paced to the person’s comfort.

Kathryn also offers coaching for career change, leadership development and clearer goal-setting. Her coaching draws on years mentoring people in organisations and helping teams work better. To start, she asks people to outline their priorities so sessions focus on tangible next steps.

Approaches that guide online counselling and coaching

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It suits worry, depression and stress by teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and attachment. It can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will help explore which methods fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences, and adapt the mix as progress unfolds. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to achieve.
