About Mel Taylor
With over ten years of counselling experience, I’m passionate about helping people navigate grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions and parenting challenges.
I specialise in trauma, employing an evidence-based approach to address PTSD and related symptoms. My practice incorporates Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), an innovative and gentle method that uses a brain-based somatic technique to promote the body’s natural healing sequence . DBR significantly reduces trauma symptoms, both past and present, often in as few as eight sessions.
I offer professional supervision and welcome practitioners and professionals from all modalities.
Are you looking for a proven way to strengthen your relationship with your child and foster their emotional well-being? I offer the Circle of Security Parenting Program—a transformative, evidence-based approach grounded in decades of research on attachment theory.

Deep Brain Reorienting
Are you struggling with PTSD and related anxiety symptoms despite traditional talk therapy?
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)® offers a promising alternative. Unlike conventional therapies, DBR focuses on the brainstem's physiological response to trauma and attachment issues, bypassing the need for extensive verbal processing.
This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with complex PTSD, including symptoms like social anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares and emotional dysregulation. DBR addresses the root causes of distress by targeting the original physiological sequences in the brain that become disrupted during the traumatic experiences.
Instead of requiring you to recount past trauma, DBR provides a gentle, non-intrusive method that can help resolve the underlying emotional and physiological imbalances. If traditional therapies haven’t fully addressed your challenges, DBR may offer a new pathway to healing and emotional stability.
