About Kathryn

Kathryn Taylor draws on more than a decade of counselling experience and a long background in senior leadership. She combines practical coaching skills with counselling to help people untangle work pressures, relationship strain and personal setbacks. Her approach suits people who want clear goals alongside compassionate listening.

Before moving into full-time counselling and coaching Kathryn spent many years in logistics at director level. That time shaped her understanding of workplace demands, team dynamics and the pressure of targets.

Background and approach

It also informed how she supports people juggling career and personal life. Kathryn trained as a coach in 2011 and completed behavioural analysis training in 2013. She went on to qualify as a counsellor later that year and has practised for around 12 years.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she adapts to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. She uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness practices.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also shape shorter term coaching conversations. She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and problems linked to work. Kathryn also supports people with career decisions, executive coaching and managing major life changes.

People who prefer practical steps plus space to reflect tend to find her way of working useful. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines and needs.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approach and online therapy options

Kathryn commonly uses client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work in online sessions. Client-centred therapy means she listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused work pays attention to emotional experience in relationships and can help people understand attachment and repair connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then adapt techniques across sessions. This makes it easier to blend coaching steps with deeper counselling when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching prompts or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into workdays, travel or busy family life while keeping the therapeutic focus.
