About Leanne
Leanne Taylor is a counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship and family concerns, among other issues. She offers person-centred support and can include creative art exercises if talking feels difficult.
Leanne uses a person-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person's own experience and pace. She listens without judging and helps people talk through things that feel overwhelming or hard to say aloud. Practical coping and clearer self-understanding are common aims.
Her background includes volunteer work with young people and with a local bereavement charity during the COVID-19 lockdowns. She has also completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and for subsequent pregnancy after loss. She runs a personal development module on the person-centred counselling diploma at a local college and works with employee assistance programmes as well as in private practice.
Leanne can work with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar challenges, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing life changes, family problems, and intimacy-related concerns. She explains approaches simply and adjusts sessions to what someone can manage in the moment.
Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged for people in the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats available.
Person-centred work and online counselling
Leanne practises person-centred counselling. This approach places the person's own experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers support so people can find clearer understanding and practical ways to cope. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties.She can also bring in creative art exercises for people who find it hard to put feelings into words. These activities aim to help people describe emotions and memories in another way and can be helpful when trauma, grief or strong feelings make talking difficult.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. Leanne will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That way the client and counsellor agree on how sessions will proceed and whether to include creative exercises or keep to talking alone.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, care responsibilities and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins, or sessions that do not require being on camera, which some people find more comfortable.
