Leanne Taylor, BACP

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She uses a person-centred way of working to help people make sense of difficult feelings and move towards change. Leanne aims to offer calm, non-judgemental support so people feel heard and understood from the start.

Leanne focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with addiction-related concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she pays attention to include abandonment, blended family issues, cancer and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and domestic violence.

Her person-centred practice means sessions are led by the client’s priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people find their own answers at their own pace. Leanne sometimes uses creative art exercises when words feel difficult, and she encourages people to say if they would like these included.

Leanne has three years of experience and has volunteered with young people and with a local bereavement charity during the covid-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancy after loss. She also works with employee assistance programmes and facilitates a personal development module on a counselling diploma course.

Person-centred work online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy stresses listening, empathy and meeting people where they are. The counsellor focuses on understanding each person’s experience and follows the priorities that matter most to them. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief and feeling stuck because it encourages people to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Leanne also offers creative options, such as art exercises, for people who find words difficult. These activities can open up different ways to express painful or confusing feelings and can be discussed together in sessions as part of the therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will talk through what feels helpful, what you want to achieve, and how you prefer to work. This collaborative conversation helps shape the sessions so they fit your needs and goals.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend during a lunch break, after childcare, or from another convenient location. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
