Hello! How can I help you?

Whether you are an individual looking to deepen your self development or a couple striving for a strong and healthy marriage I can help you. I use Imago and NVC (or Compassionate Communication) glued together with powerful Trust Oriented Therapy.

I believe that human brains respond to an intricate combination of logic and instinct and that once the brain has 'seen' and understands whatever is happening - and seen what it is we need to do to bring peace and ease to our lives - the mind is very able to take that step.

NVC stands for Non-Violent Communication - starting with a new compassion for the self. It is a wonderful 'language of life' that seems to be natural in small children but socialized away by early adulthood. Enrich your life and tease apart the often tightly wound tangle of thoughts, feelings and needs so that you can find a new strategy to meet your every precious need... (Without treading on anyone's toes.)

Imago is an excellent and very successful model of relationship therapy. It helps us understand - and learn to better control - communication between the different parts of the brain which are often the culprit in family struggle. It teaches ways for partners to re-image one another and to love one another to the full expression of their potential.

Trust Oriented Therapy is a humanistic, person-centred psychotherapy based, simply, on trust. As a therapist I have complete trust that the answer to each and every one of our problems and dilemmas lie safely within us and I will guide you to gently uncover your own solutions.

Energy - or informational - healing fits very well with this work: often these two parts go hand in hand. The mind is incredibly powerful and that same strength can heal emotional wounds just as effectively as the physical.

Dominic, Nova Scotia

...Once I met Julie Taylor, the next level of recovery started for me. I needed someone to believe in me and help me get back to normal.

Brett, BC

...her raw honesty and enthusiasm for the wellbeing for others. Her minutes and hours are spent trying to improve the lives of those close to her as well as people she doesn't even know. She accomplishes this in many ways every day. Her integrity and love have earned her a place in my heart... I met her when I was young, at a critical point in my life that was filled with tragedy. Rather than support me, everyone in my life walked out. That's when Julie walked in. I would not be the person I am today without her reassurance that I was of value in this world. I will be forever grateful.
