Julie Taylor

I’m a UKCP and BACP Registered Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, providing short- and long-term individual therapy to adults in Brighton and Hove.

I approach my work with curiosity and integrity, bringing warmth, compassion and authenticity to the therapeutic relationship. I work purposefully yet always collaboratively with clients. You can read more about my approach here.

I’m an experienced therapist, and have worked with a full range of issues, including particularly complex cases such as trauma and personality disturbance. Beyond private practice, I’ve also worked with counselling and psychotherapy clients in an NHS setting. I’ve provided therapy to a diverse range of clients, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, older clients, and other counsellors and therapists (both qualified and in training). You can read more about my areas of expertise here.

My four-year training programme was accredited by both the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).

Before working full-time as a therapist, I was a senior university lecturer in English Literature. My interest in language and storytelling persists in my therapeutic practice: I’m attentive to how we narrate our own lives, and the power held in our stories about ourselves and others. Many of my academic publications on literature engage with psychological and psychoanalytic concepts, including trauma. I draw on this research background in my rigorous approach to treatment planning, where I engage with up-to-date research to provide evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions.

I abide by the Codes of Ethics of the UKCP, the BACP and the Northern Guild for Psychotherapy. I maintain full professional indemnity insurance and am a registered data officer with the ICO. I have regular clinical supervision and engage in a variety of CPD activities, all of which are monitored in order to maintain professional accreditation.
