Reimagining later life
with purpose, joy, and reflection.

About Dr. Denise Taylor

I’m a Chartered Psychologist, author, and later-life strategist. After 52 years in full-time work, I chose a new rhythm – one that blends insight, reflection, and purpose.

I created ThriveSpan, a model that charts a conscious path through later life where wellbeing, purpose, and reflection meet. My work now spans consultancy with organisations, transformative experiences in nature, and one-to-one sessions with individuals – from short, focused conversations online to longer, deeper days at the Wood.

Whether advising leaders, mentoring individuals, or guiding Vision Quests, I help people and organisations reimagine what later life can be.
