Clinic Director & Consultant Clinical Psychologist
Dr Steven Mahan-Taylor is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with many years’ experience in both the NHS and private sector. Throughout his NHS career, Dr Mahan-Taylor worked within specialist inpatient, outpatient, hospital, and community services. This provided an invaluable opportunity early on in his career to work with many different types of experiences with a varied client group. This enabled Dr Mahan-Taylor to begin to hone his craft of tailoring expert, evidence-based psychological therapy to his clients’ unique needs, no matter what they needed support with.
Dr Mahan-Taylor creates a therapy space for his clients that is professional, warm, and comforting. He has a proven ability to form genuine, authentic, therapeutic relationships with his clients, which is vital to bring about meaningful change for them.
Dr Mahan-Taylor began his career in private practice in Bristol before moving to London in 2016. Throughout his extensive career in private practise, Dr Mahan-Taylor became fully aware that therapy is about a client’s overall experience, from beginning to end. He works closely with clients to ensure that every step of the way, from booking an appointment to engaging with therapy, is as smooth and comforting as possible.
Dr Mahan-Taylor specialises in adult mental health and has worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of emotional experiences, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, loneliness, bereavement, social anxiety, eating disorders, work-related stress, health anxiety, and substance misuse.
Throughout his career, Dr Mahan-Taylor has gained extensive experience working with clients with interpersonal difficulties. He has a special interest in long-term, complex presentations and in working with clients who have struggled with their experiences for many years without finding previous therapy helpful.
Dr Mahan-Taylor is also skilled at offering couples’ therapy to support clients to better understand themselves and improve their relationships.
In 2024, Dr Mahan-Taylor founded London Bridge Therapy in the heart of the London Bridge area whose ethos is to offer personalised, bespoke psychological therapy.
