​
​Naomi Taylor - online global therapist
​ 
2005 was my year of transition. After 4+ years of initial counsellor training, I reached a point where I was qualified, experienced and confident to practice as a counsellor/therapist. I had spent almost half a decade training in both person- centred and psychodynamic therapies in the UK. 
​
Since then I have worked as a therapist and clinical supervisor in education, private practice, employee assistance programmes and healthcare - spanning across the UK, Indonesia, China & Vietnam.

I have supported the very young; those in between; and the greyer haired variety too. All with one thing in common - to seek & create change to enhance their lives.

I consider myself to be an integrative therapist, using creative techniques and sometimes hypnotherapy where suitable. Be vulnerable and share your story so we can figure it out together; you do not need to take this path alone.
I meet both individuals and couples.
The dilemmas that have been presented are wide and varied. We are all individual and no matter how similar the initial issue may be that is presented to me, I find that there is never one magical fix that fits all; if only it were so simple!

​I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and attend regular supervision; a Certified Hypnotherapist, having trained with the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH); I have successfully completed the Hypnobirthing Works Teacher Training programme;  and trained as an instructor to deliver Thomas Gordon's Parent Effectiveness Training.

As a mum of two adult kids & a nonna to my beautiful granddaughter & grandson,  I am aware of the wonderful... and also difficult times that accompany parenting and family life. I was fortunate to experience life as a third culture kid myself and am very familiar with expat life - from both a child and adult perspective. 
My learning never ends. Here are a few areas that I have attended additional training in:
  • Hypnobirthing , with Hypnobirthing Works
  • Kinetic Shift, with the UK Hypnosis Academy
  • Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors - Working with Dissociative Disorders in Clinical Practice, with Carolyn Spring
  • The Foundation for Infant Loss Training: Accredited Pregnancy and Infant Loss Counselling Professional
  • Instructor in Parent Effectiveness Training
  • Hypnotherapy through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) 
  • Level 1 relationship training with the Gottman Institute: Bridging the Couple Chasm.
  • Relaxation Therapy
  • The Rewind Technique (Human Givens & Uncommon Knowledge) - treating traumas & phobias
  • Bereavement Counselling
  • Gestalt Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Skills
  • Counselling Children and Young People
  • Transactional Analysis - TA101
  • Eating Dis-Orders
  • Self Harm
  • Clinical Supervision
  • Depression
  • Counselling Individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
  • Creative Techniques in Therapy
