Carl Taylor

I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Counselling Psychologist and a British Psychological Society (BPS) Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Senior Practitioner Specialising in Psychotherapy.

I am also an accredited clinician in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (registered with Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) as CAT practitioner and supervisor) and an accredited clinician in Mentalization-Based Therapy (registered as a MBT practitioner with the British Psychoanalytic Council). I am also registered as a Senior Practitioner Specialising in Psychotherapy and an Applied Psychology Practice Supervisor.

I started my career as a clinician in 2002, initially working in university and charitable trusts psychotherapy services. In 2006 I went on to pursue my specialist interest in working with anxiety, depression and personality disorders within the NHS. I held a senior position as the lead clinician for both a Cognitive Analytic Therapy service and a Mentalization-Based Therapy service within the NHS.

I consider myself privileged to have worked within NHS secondary care mental health services, for 14 years, during which time I gained considerable experience working with personality disorders and complex cases, my specialist interest area.

Since leaving the NHS, I have continued to work with people who have had long-term difficulties with managing emotional responses and negotiating interpersonal relationships.
