Kate Taylor

About Me:

I am an experienced clinician and I have worked as a counsellor in adult mental health in the NHS for over 20 years – in London and the South West. I also offer private sessions both in person and remote – working from a pleasant purpose-built office at my house in Portwrinkle, a lovely sea-side village on the south coast near the Devon/Cornwall border.

My Training and Approach:

In 2004 I completed a 5-year psychotherapy and counselling training at Regent’s College in London, graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. My training gave me access to a range of therapeutic models, which allows me to offer the type of therapy that is most appropriate for the particular needs of each client. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic, existential and attachment models in my practice. I have done extensive further post-graduate training over the years including Metanoia / NICE approved Person-Centred and Experiential Counselling for Depression qualification and a Diploma in Supervision. My practice is also influenced by Compassion Focussed Therapy and Mindfulness. I am also trained in EMDR Trauma Therapy. I see clients with a wide range of personal, emotional and relationship issues and I have experience of working in a Family Therapy Team, facilitating therapeutic groups and providing individual and group supervision.

My Aim as a Therapist:

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental therapeutic space in which you can talk freely about your difficulties. My aim is to support and encourage you to clarify your thoughts and feelings in order to gain self-awareness and insight and reconnect to your inner resources and potential. Together we can focus on identifying patterns and current obstacles and gain an increased understanding of your personal priorities in order to begin to make positive changes in your life.
