As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a trauma informed therapist, I offer a compassionate and flexible approach that adapts to your individual needs and life experiences.
I see you as a whole person—emotionally, mentally, and, if you choose, spiritually—and I create a safe and respectful space where you can explore what matters most to you at your own pace.

Do you walk on eggshells in certain relationships? Do you struggle to say no or set boundaries. Do you feel like your reality is being questioned? Have you been in a relationship that has been verbally abusive? Do you not have control of your finances, or personal decision making? Do conversations sound like they are 'crazy making' or going in circles. Sometimes we feel like we have lost ourselves in our relationships. Or we have experienced significant psychological abuse in the past. I help people make sense of their experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. You are not alone and can improve your life.

We all struggle with difficulties at times; and it can be a great relief to face them with the right help. I have 20 years’ experience as a counsellor and offer counselling to individuals in a quiet, secure space. My aim includes helping you come to a clearer understanding of what has brought you to counselling, and supporting you in finding the way forwards that feels right for you. Perhaps surprisingly, our difficulties can become a source of change and growth.

I believe that at our core, human beings seek happiness, peace & balance within themselves & their environment.

Hi, my name is Adriana Taylor, I am a certified PTUK Play Therapist specializing in helping children express, heal and grow through play and creative activities.

I offer play therapy to children 4 to 12 years old. I create a safe, supportive and playful space where children can explore their emotions, build confidence, selfesteem and strenghten relationships with important people in their lives.

Do you ever feel flooded by emotions, uneasy in your own skin, or like you’re going numb just to get through the day? Experiences—whether big or small—can remain stored in the mind and body, showing up as tension, intrusive thoughts, repeating patterns, brain fog, or a sense of disconnection.
I offer a supportive, somatic and holistic approach to help you navigate past and present experiences, release what’s stuck, and tune into your body’s story. Together, we can soften limiting beliefs and move toward feeling at home in yourself and more connected to your surroundings—with greater calm, balance, and vitality.

Starting personal therapy is a big decision and it makes sense to wonder where to start and which psychotherapist to choose. How would you know what’s right for you? Making the decision to tell someone about the things that bother you most is not an easy one. However, if you are here, I would guess there’s a need to talk. Whatever it is - whether it is problems in the present, memories of the past or worries about the future - I can promise you a safe and confidential space to talk about it. A journey to find out what can make things better for you is a lot easier if you’re not alone in it.

I often work with people who have been deeply affected by their early relationship experiences. I offer a therapeutic relationship that aims to assist you in exploring and understanding your difficulties (to find some helpful meaning). I will listen to your hopes and goals and think with you about what might be needed to help you get there. I have experience working with many people with different psychological and emotional difficulties, including those struggling with experiences that have attracted diagnoses such as EUPD, Bipolar, PTSD and C-PTSD, OCD, and disordered eating.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying so much on your own. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure of who you are anymore. Or perhaps you just know that something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start. Whatever you're facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Sessions are relaxed and conversational; no pressure, just space to talk.

If you’re living with chronic pain, you may feel like you’ve tried everything. You might be exhausted by the medical merry-go-round, dismissed by professionals, or overwhelmed by the emotional toll of pain that doesn’t go away.

Imagine what it would be like to- reconnect with your body, reclaim your agency, and rediscover a sense of safety and possibility. You are not broken, Your pain is real, and so is your capacity to heal.
