Holly J Taylor Dip Couns
BACP accredited Counsellor
Holly is a qualified and accredited BACP Counsellor who trained at the Gestalt Centre in London, completing a Diploma in Counselling. Prior to this, she gained a Certificate in Psychodynamic and Humanistic Counselling at Goldsmiths. She has a Post Graduate Diploma in Gestalt Therapy Theory and is in the final stages of her MA studies in Advanced Clinical Practice towards becoming a UKCP registered integrative relational psychotherapist.
Holly has worked in a wide range of voluntary sector and employed posts including as part of an IAPT service delivering counselling to NHS users.
In private practice she offers a safe and non-judgemental space in which clients can explore the issues that are causing them concern. Holly builds a warm and supportive relationship and offers her clients sensitive observations that help to increase awareness of patterns of thought and behaviour that might feel limiting or unhelpful.
She has worked with those who feel anxious or depressed, those who have suffered bereavements or other losses, relationship difficulties at work and at home, those coping with change and transition such as retirement, divorce, parenthood, illness, social anxiety and many other emotional issues. She has an interest in peri-natal mental health.
Holly has had a long working life in education during which she developed an interest in how early family relationships and attachments to our carers may impact on how we build and maintain relationships throughout our lives. It was through working with children in care that she became drawn to her therapeutic training. She engages in ongoing continual professional development and regular therapeutic supervision.
