About Kathryn

Kathryn Taylor is a counsellor and coach with 12 years of professional experience and a background in senior executive roles. She holds BACP registration, and she draws on her time as a director in logistics to understand workplace pressures and leadership challenges. Her practice is aimed at people who want clear, practical help with life and work concerns.

She offers short-term coaching and longer counselling depending on the issue. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building day-to-day coping strategies. Kathryn uses straightforward language and practical exercises rather than technical jargon.

Her experience includes supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties as well as career and workplace concerns. She also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and eating-related struggles. Kathryn pays attention to how work roles and life transitions affect mental health and wellbeing.

Kathryn adapts her approach for each person. She blends client-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused and mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing. This mix lets her shift between exploring emotions and setting concrete steps for change.

People who choose her often want help with career decisions, rebuilding after loss or separation, improving self-esteem, or managing overwhelming stress. Those looking for both coaching and counselling find she can move between practical planning and deeper emotional work as needed.

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of each session and is about listening, reflecting and helping someone find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviour with small practical steps; it is useful for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Kathryn will work with the client to decide which methods to use based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That collaboration means the plan can shift if something isn’t working.

Because the original profile does not list specific online formats, confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins between longer sessions, and remove travel time so sessions can happen around work or family commitments. It can also help people keep continuity when they travel or move between locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and goal-setting work so they fit an online session.
