Kathryn Taylor , BACP

Kathryn Taylor brings more than two decades of leadership experience from the logistics sector into her work as a counsellor and coach. During a twenty year career she was frequently named among the industry top 100 and honoured with a Leader of the Year award in recognition of her commitment to supporting, mentoring, coaching and developing people within large organisations. Her time at director level gives her a practical understanding of the pressures of meeting targets, managing teams and negotiating workplace conflict while trying to maintain work-life balance.

Kathryn has been a qualified coach since 2011 and trained as a behavioural analyst in 2013. In the same year she completed her counselling qualifications, and in 2017 she established her own practice as a counsellor and coach to focus on the elements of her work she found most rewarding. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional affiliation and standards.

Working integratively, Kathryn adapts her style to meet each person where they are. She supports individuals and businesses with issues ranging from everyday stress and workplace challenges to relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, addictions and mood concerns. On the coaching side she works with employees at all levels - from first line managers to executives - helping them develop leadership and influencing skills, drive change programmes, secure stakeholder support and set strategic goals.

Kathryn also offers one-to-one support on career development, motivation, goal setting, wellbeing and personal growth. Her combined background in senior leadership, coaching and counselling allows her to help clients pursue sustainable change and clearer direction in both professional and personal life.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Kathryn commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space where the person is supported to explore their feelings and build self-understanding - this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to manage anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships and attachment issues are central, helping partners and individuals identify emotional patterns and develop more secure connections. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences and adapts her style as the work progresses.

Delivered online, these approaches can be practised through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Online sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit work and life commitments and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while focusing on meaningful, goal-oriented progress.
