Andrea Taylor

I am Andrea Taylor, a seasoned therapist with a Master of Science in Addiction Psychology and Counselling, I bring over 20 years of dedicated experience in the field of therapy. My journey started in harm minimisation and then went on to the Priory Group, contributing significantly in various capacities as a therapist, manager, and director. My multifaceted experience has not only honed my clinical skills but has also provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of therapeutic management.

I now focus on my Private practice seeing both 1-1 clients and couples, helping them with trauma, codependency and addictions. I draw from a wide set of skills using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) and other regulating skills and psycho education regarding trauma and family systems to promote wellbeing.

"Therapy with Andrea over the last year has been an incredible asset in navigating my journey through grief, addiction and personal growth.

I appreciate her nurturing and compassionate approach. Her guidance and support has been, and continues to be, a real gift for me - helping me develop the tools to work through trauma, to recover and to grow and experience more peace in my life."

We will have a 10 or 15 minute introduction session to see how we connect for 1-1 therapy or couples, we will then decide a time for weekly or bi weekly sessions. 50 minutes for 1-1 and 1hour for couples. I recommend weekly sessions to start then we can amend our sessions and can also offer half an hour sessions if this is helpful.

“I am so thankful for the help that Andrea gave me in the aftermath of the breakup of my marriage and subsequent journey of healing.

Without her help I would never have been able to face the demons that I had buried so deeply for so many years.

Andrea was instrumental in giving me the tools, belief and bravery to face some incredibly difficult circumstances and events. With her help I have been able to overcome the guilt, self-doubt and pain that I had carried around with me for all of my adult life without really knowing or understanding.

She truly is a remarkable therapist and I feel so grateful that our paths crossed under such difficult circumstances. She patiently guided me through an incredible journey that has helped me become a better father, person and even enabled me to give myself a break and not be so hard on myself which was something I did without knowing.,

After all of the hard work, recommended reading, difficult conversations, joy and laughs. I now feel extremely comfortable in my own skin without having to put an act on to face others. I'm now quite happy to use the word "No" which has been a complete game changer for me. I genuinely feel that Andrea has helped me find a happiness in life and myself that I didn't believe was possible plus the tools to deal with the curveballs and setbacks that life throws at us all from time to time” P

I offer a 10/15 minute introductory session to get to know each other with no charge.
