About Leanne

Leanne Taylor is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship and family concerns. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Leanne uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person. She offers simple creative exercises if talking feels difficult, such as art-based activities introduced during sessions.

Her background includes volunteering with young people and supporting bereaved clients through a local charity during the Covid-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training in infant and pregnancy loss and work with people after subsequent pregnancies following loss.

Leanne also works with employee assistance programmes and teaches on a person-centred counselling diploma at a local college. That mix means she brings practical experience from both short-term workplace support and longer therapeutic work.

People often come to her when they feel stuck, lost or uncertain about who they are after life changes. In sessions she aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears and help clients explore feelings without pressure. She encourages clients to take the pace that suits them and to try different ways of expressing difficult emotions.

For anyone in a blended household, Leanne notes blended family issues among her focus areas and can help an individual talk through loyalty conflicts, new role adjustments and co-parenting stresses. To begin, users should check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and trusting a person's capacity to find answers. In practice this means the therapist concentrates on understanding the client's perspective, asking open questions and reflecting feelings back to help clarify what matters most. This approach suits concerns such as anxiety, grief, relationship strain and feeling stuck during life changes.

Leanne describes sessions that may include conversational work and optional creative exercises for people who find talking difficult. The process of finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's comfort and adjust as the work progresses.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking as session types are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients prefer not to use video; others find video helpful for face-to-face conversation. Discuss format preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so the therapist can plan sessions that suit your schedule and needs.
