Leanne Taylor, BACP

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of experience. Leanne focuses on helping people who feel stuck, anxious, low or overwhelmed. She aims to listen without judgement and to support each person at their own pace.

Leanne uses a person-centred style that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions are built around listening and reflecting rather than directing. She offers opportunities to work through feelings and decisions, and to explore deeper patterns that keep people feeling stuck.

If finding words is hard, Leanne can introduce simple creative exercises such as art-based tools. These are optional and used to help people express difficult emotions in different ways. She invites clients to mention this during a session if they want to try it.

Her background includes volunteering with young people and with a local bereavement charity during the 2020 lockdowns. She has also completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancy after loss. Outside private practice she works with employee assistance programmes and teaches on a person-centred counselling diploma programme.

Leanne commonly supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She helps carers and those under long-term stress to talk through their situation, make sense of what they are feeling, and identify small steps forward. Her approach is steady, patient and collaborative.

Person-centred work and online counselling

Leanne uses a person-centred approach, which means the conversation follows the client. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects what she hears so people can find their own answers and make sense of difficult feelings. This approach can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and feeling stuck.

She also offers creative expressive options within sessions for those who find speaking hard. Simple art exercises can open different ways of showing what is felt and help to process painful experiences like loss or ongoing stress. Clients can ask to try these in a session and adapt them to what feels comfortable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leanne will discuss what is most helpful based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That means the plan can change over time if something else would suit better, and decisions about methods happen collaboratively.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue talking through periods of change without needing to rearrange large parts of life.
