Experienced counsellor and coach for life and work challenges
Book with KathrynAbout Kathryn
Kathryn Taylor is a counsellor and coach with 12 years' experience who moved from a long corporate career into helping individuals find steadier ground. She draws on a background as a senior executive and earlier coaching work to understand workplace pressures, leadership demands and the strains those bring to everyday life.
Kathryn holds BACP registration, and she combines practical coaching with counselling to help people set goals and cope better day to day.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes straightforward conversation with structured tools. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. She also offers techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to tackle anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people to make changes they actually stick with. Kathryn works with a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and addiction. She also helps with career questions, leadership challenges and the pressures of demanding jobs.
LGBT is listed among her focus areas and she is comfortable supporting sexual orientation and identity matters within individual work. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying responsive to a person's emotional needs. She often blends coaching and counselling when someone wants both clearer plans and help with feelings that block progress.
Kathryn aims for steady, lasting change rather than quick fixes. People often come for help with overwhelm, persistent anxiety or recovery from difficult events. She also supports those wanting clearer direction in work and life, or who are rebuilding after relationship breakdown or loss.

How Kathryn’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It gives people space to talk and to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects back what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy or clarity about their feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and goal setting to reduce anxiety and low mood and to change unhelpful habits. CBT often gives clear steps someone can use between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with important emotions that affect relationships and self-worth. It supports noticing patterns in attachment and closeness and can help when intimacy or trust feels damaged.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will discuss what feels most useful based on personal goals, the issues raised and how someone prefers to work. She may combine methods so the work fits both practical goals and emotional healing.
Confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from their regular routine while keeping planning and progress focused.
