About Valerie Taylor
She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice focuses on helping clients explore the patterns that contribute to difficult feelings and behaviours, while identifying practical steps clients can take to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Valerie works from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and already holds strengths that can be mobilised to meet current challenges. She combines attentive listening with collaborative goal-setting so clients can build on what is working and experiment with new ways of coping.
Valerie recognises that seeking change requires courage, and she offers steady, compassionate support through that process. Her approach emphasises respect for individual experience and a partnership with clients as they move toward clearer priorities and greater emotional balance.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support
Valerie uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building on existing strengths, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, problem-focused method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT can help people develop new coping skills for stress, anxiety, low mood, and related patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. Valerie will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility in how sessions are delivered. Valerie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access support from home, during work breaks, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-oriented progress with a registered professional.
