John Taylor

How are you? I offer a free initial consultation online with no obligation, usually on zoom. 

 I have a new small Saturday clinic and a few evening slots during the week. Please look at my website for more info. Thanks. 

Hi i offer trauma-informed therapy, using Internal Family Systems and EMDR, this is mostly online from Canterbury. 

I have a gentle, body-first approach to healing trauma using various techniques to resolve emotional & psychological issues that often won’t budge through talking.

 IFS and EMDR are gentle therapies that can be used to treat a wide range of mental health issues, somatic health problems, relationship difficulties etc. 

Integrating IFS with EMDR can resolve emotional trauma & heal traumatic memories. We can get to know your wounded parts with presence & validation, enhancing your sense of safety & authenticity.

I’m dual-trained in Internal Family Systems to Level 3 with the IFS Institute and also i’m an accredited UK EMDR therapist with EMDR Europe.

 I have a background in the NHS as a clinical nurse specialist in liaison psychiatry. Very often our problems are caused by an overactive or underactive nervous system. We can heal with compassion and presence.

We can meet initially on Zoom for a free introductory consultation. Thank you for reading and take care of your Self. I have more information on my website. 

I have a small practice and can focus closely on you with kindness, authenticity & compassion.

Hi there, how are you? I hope you are well. I have a small practice which is mostly online and based in Canterbury.

 I have a website which links through this BACP site. There is lots of info on there. 

 I tend to see problems as being the result of emotional trauma, often in childhood, but also in relation to stress and adverse events in life. 

 I moved to using Internal Family Systems as it is interesting how our nervous system develops adapatations, often in childhood, which can cause problems in adulthood. 

 We can get to know these parts with compassion, validation, presence and witnessing. We can also use EMDR to resolve and work through distressing traumatic memories. 

 I have helped people with long-standing mental and physical health problems including PTSD, complex trauma, self-abandonment, OCD, panic attacks, hypervigilance, dissociation, self-defeating behaviours, hopelessness, shame, codependency and avoidance of life. This isn’t about talking, but more about being present safely in your body. Healing comes from presence and compassion. 

I have great experience in the NHS as a clinical nurse specialist. Often body issues get missed including somatic pain and chronic fatigue. 

* IFS Institute Level-3 Therapist

* EMDR Europe & UK Accredited

I can offer a free 30 minute Zoom session, which is confidential and a chance to explore your concerns. 

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 Level 3 with the IFS Institute. I hold NHS registration and an Enhanced DBS.

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.

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

 I integrate two leading, evidence-based therapies:

* 
Internal Family Systems (IFS): A compassionate trauma therapy where we safely befriend our 'symptoms' like anxiety, hypervigilance, avoidance, or shame. Healing becomes presence, witnessing and relationship. 

* 
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): This trauma protocol helps the nervous system reprocess adverse memories, resolving the physical and emotional distress attached to those memories.

My Background & Credentials
I am an IFS Institute Level-3 therapist and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner.

  I have an NHS background in liaison psychiatry—the specialist field bridging physical health and the body.  In the same way, we can see how trauma often has an impact on our mental and physical well-being.
  Authentic healing happens within a therapeutic relationship built on compassion and the belief that there are 'no bad parts' of you—only parts of your nervous system that have been trying to help you survive.
