Kathryn Taylor, BACP

Kathryn Taylor combines a long track record in senior leadership with professional training in coaching and counselling to support people navigating work, relationships and life transitions. Her award-winning career in the logistics sector spanned more than twenty years and included repeated recognition in an industry top 100 list and a Leader of the Year award for her work mentoring, coaching and developing people. That experience informs her practical, outcome-focused approach when working with individuals and organisations.

Kathryn trained as a coach in 2011 and became a behavioural analyst and a qualified counsellor in 2013. In 2017 she set up her own practice to concentrate on the areas of work she found most fulfilling, combining counselling and coaching to help clients achieve sustainable change. She is a member of BACP - a professional counselling association - which reflects her commitment to recognised standards of professional practice.

As an integrative counsellor Kathryn adapts her style to suit each person she works with, and she also delivers coaching to employees and leaders at all levels. She supports people with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns. She also works with organisations on leadership development, stakeholder engagement, team performance and strategic clarity, helping clients set goals and build practical plans for the future.

Kathryn combines clinical approaches and coaching tools to help clients move from insight to action, whether the focus is personal recovery, improving relationships, navigating workplace pressures or achieving career goals. She works with individuals and businesses in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches Kathryn offers for online work

Kathryn uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports personal insight and self-directed growth - it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, life changes and coping with stress.

CBT is a practical, structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties, and can be adapted for work on habits, motivation and coping strategies. EFT explores emotional patterns within relationships and helps partners or individuals recognise and shift the interaction cycles that maintain distress, making it useful for relationship, intimacy and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so the therapy fits the individual. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel. For many people the variety of remote options increases access to regular support and helps maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
