Lee Taylor

Since graduating from Strathclyde University, I have been involved in education, training and personal as well as professional development for more than 30 years. This has included the pastoral care of both young people and adults and working with their families. During this period I completed a certificate in counselling skills followed by a post-graduate diploma in counselling and supervision. I am a qualified Reality Therapy practitioner, certified in Grief Therapy and I am a member of COSCA.

Psychodrama is also one of my interests and a few years ago I spent some time learning how to use psychodrama techniques based on Jungian psychology. Following training in the facilitation of drum circles, I am also a facilitator of therapeutic drumming at Castle Craig – earplugs optional!

A year-long addictions therapy training course at Castle Craig exposed me to working with families. This led me to completing a year’s training in Systemic Family therapy. Providing counselling support for families is a rewarding part of my job, whether on an individual, small or large group basis.

Outside the workplace you are likely to find me ‘trying something new’! I am very interested in personal development and enjoy taking part in workshops and groups to this end. I also teach counselling skills at a local college two evenings per week.

Family therapy work is a crucial part of recovery – for everyone and I look forward to assisting you on this part of the journey.
