Leanne Taylor, BACP

Leanne Taylor is a United Kingdom based counsellor and psychotherapist with three years of professional experience, and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She practises using a client-centred approach that trusts each person’s capacity for growth and aims to support clients as they work toward greater self-understanding and wellbeing.

Leanne recognises that reaching out for help can feel difficult, and that talking to friends or family does not always provide the understanding someone needs. She offers a listening presence free from judgement and supports clients as they explore feelings that may feel overwhelming, frightening, or confusing. Where verbal expression is challenging, she can introduce creative art exercises to help people access emotions and experiences in alternative ways, and these can be incorporated during sessions if the client wishes.

Her experience includes volunteering with young people and providing bereavement counselling during the covid-19 lockdowns, as well as completing accredited practitioner training in infant and pregnancy loss and in subsequent pregnancy after loss. In addition to her private practice, Leanne works with clients through employee assistance programmes and facilitates a personal development module on a person-centred counselling diploma at a local college. She has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, major life changes, feelings of being stuck or lost, and those exploring identity and self-esteem. Leanne aims to meet clients where they are and to accompany them with attentive, compassionate support throughout their process.

Client-Centered Support and Flexible Online Access

Leanne works primarily with a client-centered approach, which focuses on offering non-judgemental listening, empathy, and respect so clients can explore their feelings and find their own path toward growth. This approach is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and questions of identity because it centres the client’s experience and pace.

She can also integrate creative art exercises into sessions for clients who find it difficult to express emotions verbally; these activities provide alternative ways to explore thoughts and feelings and can make it easier to access and process painful or confusing experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Leanne works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. As a registered professional, she supports clients in experimenting with different ways of working until a helpful style is established.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer remote access. These options allow clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that suit them, and they make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy over time.
