About Gareth Taylor
A steady, thoughtful presence.
Therapy with me is calm, human, and focused on what matters most to you.
I’m Gareth – an integrative counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor based in Tenterden, Kent. I work with people both in person and online, across the UK and internationally.
People often come to me when things feel heavy, confusing, or quietly overwhelming. They’re not always sure what they need – only that something deserves space and attention. My role is to offer that space, without pressure, judgement, or expectation.
How I Came to This Work
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years in a people-focused profession that took me around the world. It brought me into close contact with individuals and families from all walks of life – often in moments of pressure, uncertainty, or emotional intensity.
Staying calm, listening carefully, and responding thoughtfully became second nature. Over time, I noticed how powerful it was when someone felt genuinely heard – not rushed, not managed, just understood.
That experience stayed with me. Eventually, it led me to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist, bringing with me a deep respect for human resilience, vulnerability, and complexity.
Understanding people – rather than fixing them – has always been at the centre of my work
Understanding people has always been at the centre of my work.
How I Work
I work integratively, which means I don’t follow a single formula or way of working. Instead, I adapt our sessions to suit you – your personality, your history, and what you’re dealing with right now.
Some sessions are practical and grounding. Others are slower and more reflective. We might explore long-standing patterns, or focus on something happening in the present.
At its heart, therapy with me is a conversation – real, thoughtful, and grounded. Together, we make sense of what’s been shaping your experience and create space for change that feels authentic and sustainable.
Clinical Supervision
Alongside my client work, I offer clinical supervision to counsellors, therapists, and allied professionals.
My supervisory style is supportive, reflective, and gently challenging when needed. I value honesty, curiosity, and ethical awareness – not perfection.
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Counselling Supervision (The Thoros Centre for Therapy Learning) and work with both trainees and experienced practitioners. Supervision, for me, is a place to think clearly, breathe more freely, and reconnect with your professional identity – especially when the work feels demanding or isolating.
What People Often Say
Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and easy to talk to – someone who listens carefully and isn’t afraid to sit with difficult material.
Supervisees frequently say they leave sessions feeling clearer, steadier, and more confident – both in their work and in themselves as practitioners
Professional Standards
I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and work in line with their Code of Ethical Practice.
My practice is supported by regular supervision, ongoing professional development, full insurance, and GDPR-compliant systems – ensuring the work we do together is safe, ethical, and professionally held.
A Few Personal Notes
Outside of my work, I find balance through nature, travel, and time spent near the sea. These spaces offer perspective, stillness, and movement – qualities that quietly shape the way I sit with others in the therapy room.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you’re seeking therapy, supervision, or simply a space to pause and reset, I offer a calm, confidential environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
