Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) -
Hi, I’m Alison (she/her). I’m a white, queer woman. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. Through offering mind and body reconnection, I provide support for people experiencing anxiety/worry, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, work-related stress, and major life transitions.
My focus is on wholeness and integration. This means that we will explore being present with what is, rather than focussing on something that needs to be fixed. To our work I bring 20 years of training and experience as a singer and voice and Alexander Technique teacher, so I appreciate the wisdom of your body. I bring empathy, collaboration, and creativity to our partnership so that you are always a part of the process. Together we will work on building regulation skills by strengthening your connection to your senses, thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
The human experience includes a broad range of feelings in therapy, including: suffering, joy, wonder, anxiety, grief, loneliness, and connection. Therapy is a collaborative process involving two humans, sitting together with our humanity.
