Dr Caroline Taylor

15+ years of experience

Dr Caroline Taylor is a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of clinical practice. She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has completed advanced post-doctoral training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Alongside her private practice, Caroline has held the role of Clinical Lead within a large private organisation, reflecting both her clinical expertise and her leadership in delivering high-quality psychological care.

Caroline works with adults and teenagers across a wide range of psychological difficulties, with particular specialist expertise in trauma. She supports individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, sexual assault, multiple or complex traumatic experiences, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Her work focuses on helping clients make sense of what they have been through, reduce the ongoing impact of trauma, and move towards a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and self-directed.

In addition to trauma-focused work, Caroline has extensive experience supporting people with anxiety-related difficulties, including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety, specific phobias, and generalised anxiety. She also has additional training and clinical experience in grief and bereavement, eating-related difficulties, and psychosexual therapy, allowing her to work thoughtfully with complex and overlapping presentations.

Caroline is trained in a range of evidence-based psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioural Activation, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Narrative Therapy, and Psychosexual Therapy. This integrative skill set allows her to tailor therapy carefully to each individual, drawing on different models as needed rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Her therapeutic style is transparent, collaborative, and pragmatic. Caroline places strong emphasis on working alongside her clients to develop clear, shared formulations and practical “roadmaps” for therapy. Clients often value her ability to combine warmth and compassion with clarity and direction, offering both emotional support and concrete strategies to help them build resilience and make meaningful changes in their lives.
