Leanne Taylor

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard. Leanne uses a person-centred style and focuses on listening without judging. She explains things simply and helps people explore feelings like anxiety, depression, grief and stress. Leanne also works with issues such as eating and food-related concerns, addiction, relationship and family problems, and coping with life changes. She offers practical ways to notice patterns and to make small changes that matter day to day. Her approach is built on the idea that each person has the ability to grow when they are heard. Sessions can include talking and, where helpful, creative exercises such as art tasks to help express difficult feelings. These options are offered when a client feels comfortable trying them. Leanne has three years of practice experience. During training she volunteered with young people, and she provided bereavement support with a local charity during the pandemic. She has completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and support for subsequent pregnancies after loss. Alongside private practice, Leanne works with employee assistance programmes and assists with a personal development programme on a person-centred counselling diploma. She aims to meet people where they are and support them as they make sense of their experiences and work towards change.

How a person-centred approach works online

Leanne works from a person-centred perspective, which means the focus is on listening carefully and offering a non-judgemental space. This approach helps when people are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or bereaved and want someone to reflect back what they notice about their own experience.

She may also use creative exercises such as simple art tasks to help express things that are hard to put into words. These activities are optional and chosen together if they seem useful for exploring emotions or memories.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, needs and preferences and adapt the sessions accordingly. People are invited to shape the pace and style of work so it fits what they want to get from therapy.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that talking remotely still supports meaningful progress when the approach suits the person's needs.
