EMCC Senior Practitioner Coach | Chartered Psychologist

introduction

A space to think it through properly!

I’m Carl Taylor, a Senior Practitioner Coach and a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with founders, owners, and leaders carrying a decision that’s genuinely theirs to make.

You’re not short of ideas, and you’ve probably already tried the obvious things: blocked out time that didn’t hold, had the conversation that changed nothing, talked it over with someone and come away no clearer. What’s usually missing isn’t effort. It’s somewhere to actually think it through, so what you already know you should do becomes something that actually happens, not just another intention.

My coaching draws on more than 25 years of experience in conversations with people navigating change, complexity, responsibility, and important decisions. I’m a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS), an EMCC Global Senior Practitioner Coach, and a member of the Association for Coaching.

That experience shapes how I listen, what I notice, and the questions I ask, but the work stays firmly coaching, focused on you and where you want to go.

I work online via Zoom with people across the UK and beyond, from a base in Central London. It’s a working relationship: honest, considered, and useful.

Greater awareness.
Better decisions.

what clients say!

“The biggest benefit came from being challenged to examine how and why I do the things I do, and then prioritise accordingly. Learning to give myself permission to view situations differently was incredibly valuable — this gentle but consistent challenge over a number of months was probably the most useful aspect of the coaching. Looking back, many of the most valuable outcomes were things I wouldn’t have known to ask for at the outset.” – June 2026
