John Taylor

Hi I have some flexibility and usually I'm available during the week and some evenings. 

 I look forward to hearing from you. If you email or call we can arrange and initial free appointment.

 You can whatsapp me confidentially on 07525 456544.

My website is johnnietaylor.co.uk which is being updated. 

Hi, I can offer trauma-focused psychotherapy, to help with anxiety and depression, complex trauma histories, panic, OCD, rumination, C-PTSD, dissociation, feeling usafe, somatic issues (pain, fatigue, migraines) and social and relationship problems. I integrate two established trauma-focused therapies. 

The first is Internal Family Systems (IFS) & the second is EMDR. Trauma-informed therapy helps you let go of emotional burdens, and history of all types of abuse and neglect, at a deep level. I am an IFS Institute Level-3 therapist & an EMDR UK accredited practitioner.

Most mental health problems can be seen through the lens of emotional trauma and suffering. The nervous system often carries wounds and we can heal these parts using Internal Family Systems therapy. We can unburden you of your suffering not only by insight but by internal healing. I can help you with traumatic memories using EMDR techniques.

I can help you process emotional trauma, somatic pain, abuse, neglect, fears, bullying, any psychological issue which causes suffering. Together we explore how you adapted to survive, and how these protective parts overdo it. I have an interest in helping you with scapegoating, abuse, bullying, healing from narcissistic abuse and codependency.

I have a website (being updated) on Johnnietaylor.co.uk so you can read some testimonials there. 

I offer a free initial 30-minute confidential review on Zoom, to see how i can help and answer any questions. 

I have trained with the IFS Institute, to Level 3, as a registered Internal Family Systems' therapist.

I am also accredited with the EMDR Association and EMDR Europe. 

I have a postgraduate background in mental health, liaison psychiatry, and counselling in the NHS. 

 I understand that sometimes people don't want to talk openly about some difficulties.

 With trauma-informed therapies we can work 'blind' - you do not have to share anything you don't want to. 

 Often the nervous system carries trauma in an embodied, felt way, and this is expressed somatically ie panic attacks.

 Many mental health problems often have a trauma underpinning leaving therapy struggling to resolve this issues.

  I do understand that many problems in life are the result of absences, abandonments, neglect, abuse, victimisation, hostility and attacks. 

 Even more are forgotten and we are left with the symptoms of the erased parts of ourselves. 

 I do realise it is very difficult to talk about certain historical problems and even harder to address the impact ie addiction, codependency, chronic fatigure, hypervigilance, poor confidence etc. 

 You may even dissociate, re-friend abusive people, have C-PTSD, self-abandon and people please, you may struggle with attracting narcissists and abusive people. 

 This makes complete sense - your nervous system/feelings, adapted to survive and we have to attend to these wounds and reclaim your authentic self. 

 Let's do this with loving compassion for yourself and all the parts of you that may be causing problems. 

I offer an initial confidential 30-minute discussion on Zoom for free.

Your first session is an opportunity to relax and we can talk gently about anything you like. 

You don't not have to talk about anything you don't want to. 

In fact any problem with trauma therapy can be worked on without telling me the specific details. 

 Trauma-informed therapy with Internal Family Systems and EMDR can be a way of getting to know parts of you that haven't had a voice or parts that have been lost and erased.

 Healing with trust and compassion allows you to have therapy without re-shaming you or judging you. 

The sessions are on Zoom and confidential.

Please contact me on +44 07525 456544 or email me on johnnie@eastkenttherapy.co.uk

I am normally available during the week, where i offer weekly and fortnightly online Internal Family Systems' therapy and counselling for mental health and personal and emotional problems. 

I am also an accredited EMDR therapist so i can help additionally with trauma and traumatic memories.

Thank you. 

Hi, I can offer trauma-focused psychotherapy, to help with anxiety and depression, complex trauma histories, panic, OCD, rumination, C-PTSD, dissociation, feeling usafe, somatic issues (pain, fatigue, migraines) and social and relationship problems. 

I integrate two established trauma-focused therapies. The difference between talk therapy and trauma therapy is that insight is good, but making lasting change i.e. stop people pleasing or stop self-abandoning requires a deeper connection with the body. The Body Keeps the Score, as Bessel Van Der Kolk says.

 You could argue that all mental health (and many physical and somatic health) problems can be understood through a trauma lens. If you have suffered extreme neglect or abuse as a child, your nervous system will have adapted to survive and these adaptations persist into adulthood. 

 So as an adult you may perform too much (people pleasing, worrying, panicking, befriending the wrong people) or not performing and being fatigued, depressed, lost, and unloved.  The answer is a trauma or embodied approach. This allows you to heal and connect with yourself at a deep level. 

I use two techniques, EMDR is very good for traumatic memories and processing and 'retrieving' you from these distressing moments. EMDR is very clever at making things right. 

The second is Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS helps us get to know protective parts of the nervous system. For example you might find yourself having low confidence and low self-esteem and shrinking and making yourself invisible. You might carry the burden of shame and worthlessness also. 

 IFS helps us be curious and befriend these adaptive ways of survival that persist in your nervous sytem, at an embodied level. Not just at the level of intellectual understanding. And once we connect with these wounded parts of us, they can let go of the 'jobs' they do. 

In this compassionate way, we can heal & reclaim your authentic self.

EMDR and IFS together are particularly effective for emotional trauma, abuse, neglect, bullying, abandonment, and the long-term effects of difficult relationships. 

I am accredited with EMDR Europe and the EMDR Association UK, and trained to Levels 1 & 2 with the IFS Institute. I hold NHS registration and an Enhanced DBS.

I have an MSc from KCL and a Postgraduate Diploma from Goldsmiths College University of London. I was a clinical nurse specialist in liaison psychiatry in the NHS for many years. 

Please also text me confidentially on 07525 456544 and i will get back to you. Thank you.
