MEET GOLD COAST PSYCHOLOGIST - TAYLOR
Hello! My name is Taylor and I am a registered Psychologist. I take a compassionate, respectful, and collaborative approach to supporting adult clients to make sustainable, lasting change. Throughout our therapeutic journey together, I’m committed to cultivating a safe, supportive and open space that supports your holistic well-being.
I have experience in a variety of evidence based psychotherapies that I draw on to address the unique goals and presenting concerns of each individual client that I work with. My primary approaches are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), though I additionally utilise Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Schema Therapy to inform my approach.
My career as a psychologist thus far has seen me working with individuals with a wide range of mental health challenges across several settings, including private practice, non-profit organisations, and research settings. I am particularly passionate about working with emotional and interpersonal challenges, trauma related disorders, and anxiety.
