Leanne Taylor

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a person-centred way of working to support people navigating stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. Her background includes volunteering with young people and bereavement services during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Leanne keeps sessions straightforward and focused on listening. She aims to offer a calm space where people can say what is on their mind without feeling judged. If talking feels hard, she can introduce creative art exercises to make it easier to express emotions.

Her work has included short-term pieces through employee assistance programmes and teaching on a person-centred counselling diploma course. She has completed accredited practitioner training in infant and pregnancy loss and in subsequent pregnancy after loss, and has supported people facing bereavement and life transitions.

People come to Leanne for help with low mood, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addiction issues, and feelings of emptiness or being stuck. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

In sessions she encourages people to find their own solutions at a pace that suits them. Conversations focus on what the person needs now, and on small steps that can help move things forward. Practical suggestions and reflective listening are mixed according to each person’s preference.

How a person-centred approach works online

Leanne mainly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on offering warm, non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own path forward. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low mood, grief and feelings of being stuck because it focuses on what matters most to the person rather than a set treatment plan.

She can also use creative art exercises within sessions to help people express emotions when words are difficult. These exercises are optional and chosen together during sessions to match what feels most comfortable for the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will work collaboratively to decide what helps most based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation can include trying different ways of working and adjusting as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often discuss the best format when arranging the first appointment so sessions fit everyday life.
