ABOUT Taylor

Taylor’s a registered psychologist based in Wānaka, working with people in person and online across Aotearoa. Her mahi sits at the intersection of mental health and performance—supporting people through life’s tough patches, or backing them as they go after big goals.

Before stepping into psychology, Taylor spent 8 years on the NZ Alpine Ski Team, competing internationally. That time in high-pressure environments shaped the grit and empathy she brings to her work – whether she’s helping someone navigate anxiety and trauma, or supporting athletes dealing with confidence wobbles, injury, burnout, or big transitions.

Taylor works with adults from all walks of life, blending science-backed approaches like ACT, EMDR, and IFS to suit each person’s unique wiring. Her style is grounded, collaborative, and always practical – focused on helping people make meaningful shifts, both in-session and out in the real world.

Outside the therapy space, she recharges in nature – skiing, surfing, or biking in the mountains, and soaking up time with good humans.

Taylor sees people Monday - Thursday with current availability.

Feel free to get in touch with her directly if you have any questions.
