Leanne Taylor

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who draws on a person-centred way of working. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings three years of practical experience to sessions. Leanne aims to be a steady, non-judgemental presence when people find it hard to speak about what they are facing.

Her style is calm and straightforward. She listens first and follows the pace the person sets. If words are difficult, she can introduce creative art exercises to help express feelings. Those activities are optional and can be discussed during a session.

Leanne has volunteered with young people and with a local bereavement charity during the Covid-19 lockdowns. She has also completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and for subsequent pregnancy after loss. Alongside private work, she supports clients through employee assistance programmes and runs a personal development module at a local college.

People come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, anger, addiction and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also works with problems linked to chronic illness, caregiver stress, domestic violence and bereavement. Her aim is to help people notice what matters to them and to find clearer ways forward.

Sessions focus on what the person brings each week. Leanne offers listening, gentle reflection and practical steps when helpful. She tries to create a calm space where people can work through painful or confusing experiences at their own speed.

How a person-centred approach works online

Leanne practises using a person-centred method that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps the person find their own way forward. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, grief and anger where forming trust and being heard matters first.

When words are hard, Leanne can offer creative art exercises as an alternative way to express feelings. These exercises aim to make emotional material easier to approach and can be helpful for people who feel stuck or find it difficult to name their experience.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the work as it progresses. Together they decide whether to focus on emotional processing, practical coping strategies, or creative exploration.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or between other responsibilities. They also make it easier to choose a quieter setting, use audio only if preferred, or keep sessions shorter when needed.
