About Leanne

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which she uses while seeing people in private practice and through workplace programmes. Leanne presents as a calm, steady presence for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

She follows a person-centred approach that aims to help people find their own answers. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and supporting each person to explore what matters to them. Creative art exercises can be offered if talking feels difficult.

Leanne volunteered with young people during her training and provided bereavement counselling during the COVID-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training in infant and pregnancy loss and in subsequent pregnancy after loss. Alongside her private work, she facilitates a personal development programme on a person-centred counselling diploma course and engages with employee assistance schemes.

People come to Leanne with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career questions, bipolar, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and domestic violence.

Leanne aims to meet each person where they are and to listen closely to their experience. She supports people in working towards greater understanding and making changes at a pace that feels right for them.

Person-centred approaches and online sessions

Leanne works from a person-centred framework that places the person's own experience at the heart of the work. This approach involves open listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people uncover their own solutions and resources. It can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and feeling stuck.

She also offers creative ways into emotional material, such as art-based exercises, for people who find it hard to use words alone. These methods aim to provide alternative routes to expression and can be brought into sessions when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to suit you. This collaborative way of working helps identify whether more talking, more creative tasks, or a mix will be most useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer, confirm which session formats are available before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people appreciate the convenience of remote sessions for scheduling and continuity, while others may prefer in-person options where offered; the therapist will help you choose what suits your life.
