About Kathryn
Kathryn Taylor draws on more than a decade of counselling experience and a long career in senior leadership. She moved from industry roles into counselling and coaching to focus on one-to-one work. Kathryn is a BACP member, and she describes her approach as practical and adaptable to each person’s needs.
She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Kathryn helps people untangle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns using techniques that fit the situation.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addictions and changes at work or in life. Kathryn’s background includes executive leadership and years of mentoring and coaching colleagues. That experience helps her understand workplace pressures, managing teams and balancing work demands with personal life.
She uses that perspective when people bring career, leadership or role-related worries to sessions. Her counselling draws on a mix of client-centred listening, practical cognitive work and emotion-focused methods. Kathryn also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they suit a person’s goals.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and to build clear, manageable steps forward. People can expect a calm, direct style that balances listening with practical suggestions. Kathryn offers video, phone, chat and messaging sessions to fit different schedules and preferences.
She works in English and accepts international clients.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals; it helps when people need space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name emotional experiences and can be useful for tackling hurt, grief and intense relationship-related feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that suit those aims. She adapts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, chat and messaging suit short check-ins and written reflection. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family and travel commitments.
