Leanne Taylor, BACP

Leanne Taylor is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a client-centered approach, which trusts that people have an innate drive toward growth and wholeness and seeks to provide the conditions that help that process unfold. Leanne offers calm, attentive support for people who feel alone with their difficulties or worry about burdening others with their struggles.

She aims to listen without judgement and to support clients as they explore experiences that feel overwhelming or scary, helping them to make sense of feelings and to develop clearer self-understanding. For clients who find it hard to put feelings into words, Leanne can introduce creative art exercises as an alternative way to express and explore emotions when that feels more comfortable.

During her training she volunteered with young people and provided counselling for a local bereavement charity during the COVID-19 lockdowns. She has completed accredited practitioner training for infant and pregnancy loss and for subsequent pregnancy after loss. In addition to her private practice, Leanne works with clients through employee assistance programmes and facilitates a personal development programme within the person-centred counselling diploma at her local college.

Leanne has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, and sensations of being stuck or lost, and she focuses on meeting clients where they are and accompanying them through their personal process.

Client-Centered Therapy and Online Support

Leanne practices from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on creating a warm, non-directive environment in which people can explore their feelings and find their own path toward growth. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and for anyone feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps.

She can also offer creative art-based exercises to help people express emotions that are difficult to put into words, providing an alternative route to insight and emotional processing when talking feels challenging.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process, and Leanne approaches that collaboratively, helping clients identify the methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to adapt the approach as the work evolves.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate, and the ability to continue therapy when in-person meetings are not possible, while still being guided by a licensed professional or therapist.
