About Leanne
Leanne Taylor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger, among other concerns. Leanne uses a person-centred approach and offers a direct, listening presence as people work on practical problems and painful feelings.
Leanne describes the person-centred approach as based on people's own tendency to grow and heal. She aims to be an objective companion in sessions, listening without judgement and helping clients make sense of overwhelming feelings. She notes that some people find it hard to tell friends or family about what they are experiencing, and she provides a space to speak about those things.
Where talking feels difficult, Leanne can introduce creative art exercises to help people express emotions. She invites clients to request these activities during sessions if they might help. These exercises are offered as an option rather than a requirement.
Her background includes volunteering with young people and providing bereavement counselling during the covid-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancy after loss. In addition to private practice, Leanne works with employee assistance programmes and teaches a personal development module on a person-centred counselling diploma.
Leanne says she listens to whatever people bring and supports them as they explore their feelings. She helps people who feel stuck, lost, or unsure about who they are, and she works with a wide range of life stresses including relationship and family difficulties, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and career change.
How sessions work
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Leanne practises a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening and supporting people as they find their own direction. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, anger and relationship concerns by prioritising what the client brings to each session and responding without judgement.She can also use creative art exercises when talking feels hard. These activities are simple ways to express emotions and reflect on experiences, useful for grief, trauma or feeling stuck. Clients may choose to try them during their sessions if they feel helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and practical needs together, and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That discussion continues as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use person-centred methods, often find that this way of working supports ongoing progress while fitting into everyday life.
