I'M TAYLOR

A real human living in Scotland. There's a chance you might see me walking my dog or something.

​

I have worked in the field of mental health for 10+ years in various roles (student, researcher, writer, support group facilitator, lecturer, and therapist) as well as in various countries (USA, Australia, England, and Scotland). I've worked for charities, universities, in the private sector, and for the NHS. Though I'm outside the city now, I have experience and connections from being a therapist in Edinburgh and providing online therapy in Scotland.

​

I love this work. I love being a therapist. Alongside my private practice Just Human Therapy, I work with other therapists in support groups and as a clinical supervisor. This work is important to me, because I think people matter, I think having a space for ourselves can be life changing, and I want to provide a space and a service that reflects that.

“How much of life have I missed, he wondered, simply by failing to look? Or by looking and not seeing?”
