About Leanne

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Leanne uses a person-centred approach and aims to listen without judgement while people work through hard feelings.

She describes the person-centred way as helping people move towards growth and wholeness. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on finding clearer understanding rather than on quick fixes. Leanne can use simple creative art exercises when words feel difficult, and she invites people to try these during sessions if they feel helpful.

Leanne has three years of experience and has volunteered supporting young people and bereaved clients during the covid-19 lockdowns. She has also completed practitioner training related to infant and pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancy after loss. In addition to private practice, she works with employee assistance programmes and teaches on a person-centred counselling diploma course.

People often come to her with anxiety, depression or stress. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career changes, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. Leanne lists codependency among her additional focus areas.

Her style is calm and companionable. She aims to meet people where they are, listen carefully, and help them make sense of what they are feeling so they can move forward at their own pace.

Person-centred support and practical online options

Leanne primarily works using a person-centred approach. This means the counsellor listens closely, follows what matters to the individual, and helps them make sense of their feelings. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, grief and relationship struggles because it focuses on the person rather than on labels.

She also offers the option of simple creative art exercises in sessions. These exercises can help people who find it hard to put feelings into words, offering another route to express thoughts and emotions during therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and will help decide whether person-centred talking, creative exercises or a mix is the best fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also help people continue sessions when circumstances change, with flexibility to arrange times that suit everyday commitments.
