Leanne Taylor , BACP

Leanne Taylor is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which denotes adherence to professional standards and ongoing development. She works from a client-centered approach that trusts each person’s capacity for growth, offering a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore feelings and experiences.

Leanne draws on person-centered principles to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, addiction, self-esteem concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and other life changes. She also supports those facing abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, commitment and control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and bereavement related to pregnancy and infant loss.

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

Leanne may incorporate creative art exercises when clients find verbal expression difficult, and she aims to meet people where they are, listen deeply, and support them as they work toward greater self-understanding and wellbeing.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Leanne practises Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that prioritises the client's perspective and innate capacity for growth. In this model the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and attentive listening to help people explore their feelings and develop self-awareness, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and navigating major life changes.

She also uses creative expressive techniques when verbal expression feels difficult. These art-based exercises can provide alternative ways to explore painful memories, grief, dissociation, or emotions that are hard to name, making it easier for some clients to access and process their experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey and Leanne works collaboratively with each person to determine what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will guide the selection and adaptation of methods so therapy aligns with the client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health concerns. These options make it easier to access regular sessions without travel, support continuity during life transitions, and allow clients to choose the format that suits their communication style while working with a licensed professional.
