About Leanne

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years' professional experience and BACP registration. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and anger, and those facing major life changes or grief.

She uses a person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on the client's own perspective and pace. Leanne listens without judgement and helps people put words to difficult feelings. She can use creative art exercises when talking feels too hard.

Leanne has volunteered with young people and supported bereaved clients during the COVID-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and subsequent pregnancy after loss. She also works with employee assistance programmes and teaches on a person-centred counselling diploma.

In sessions she aims to be an objective companion who helps people explore what feels overwhelming. Conversations cover topics such as relationship strain, codependency, chronic illness and addiction, as well as issues around self-esteem and intimacy. The focus is on understanding feelings and finding practical ways to manage them.

People who prefer a quiet, paced conversation and occasional creative tasks often find this style helpful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical arrangements using the See online therapy options flow.

How person-centred work translates to online sessions

Leanne draws on person-centred therapy, which centres the conversation on the client's experience. That approach helps with issues like anxiety, depression, anger and relationship strain by giving people space to describe how they feel and what they want to change. In sessions the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client's lead to build clearer understanding.

She may also include creative art exercises for people who find words difficult. Those activities offer another way to express emotion and can be adapted to a remote setting when agreed with the client. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods suit the person's needs and goals; deciding the right approach is part of the process rather than a single upfront choice.

Practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time, which can make regular contact easier to maintain. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the exact session options before booking. The focus is on arranging sessions that fit into everyday life and support steady progress toward the client's aims.
