About Taylor
He works from the view that each person knows their life best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical ways to move forward. Taylor encourages small, achievable steps that build confidence and improve day-to-day functioning.

He also supports people facing issues related to gender dysphoria, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and challenges connected to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Taylor addresses co-occurring concerns like grief, guilt, and the emotional impact of medical issues including cancer.
Therapeutic work blends reflection with goal-oriented strategies. He uses existential questions to clarify meaning and values, and solution-focused tools to set concrete goals and measure progress. Conversations are practical and grounded in what the person wants to change now.
Taylor aims to be a steady, encouraging presence while people try new ways of coping. He helps clarify priorities, chart realistic steps, and notice small wins along the way.

Step 3
Existential and Solution-Focused Work in Online Therapy
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values, and the big questions that shape life choices. It invites reflection on what matters and on how someone wants to live, which can help when feeling stuck or unsure about direction.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and practical solutions. It helps set clear goals and track progress, which is useful for concerns like motivation, attention, and low confidence.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing, session length, and how to structure meetings to fit everyday life.
