Hi, I’m Trisha Taylor
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to look over my website.
I am a qualified, registered professional with over 22 years’ experience in helping people navigate life’s many difficulties, changes and challenges in a variety of settings. I bring skills and experience of working as a counsellor, coach and specialist mental health mentor.
While my clinical work has been a privilege, I have observed a growing "support gap" for women aged 45 to 75+ , those who aren't necessarily seeking "healing" for the past, but rather a "strategy" for their future.
My own personal lived experience of these years supports this as I navigated major life and family changes, formulated new career opportunities and learned new skills on my mid life journey.
The changing focus of my work
From personal and professional experience it has become clear is that there is gap in support for women navigating the challenges, changes and transitions of middle and later-life.
These years can be confusing and, for some deeply painful as we experience emotional, physical and practical challenges of life and identity change.
Despite this, women often know instinctively know that it does not have to be a time of decline, but can be an opportunity for recalibration.
My work now focuses on supporting women through their recalibration, helping them navigate the changes, rediscover confidence, redefine their identity and design the next chapter with meaning and purpose.
