Lianne Gow , BACP

Lianne Gow is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has three years of formal counselling training and professional practice. She also brings more than seven years of experience working in mental health roles, combining practical service experience with focused therapeutic training.

Her work has included supporting people dealing with stress and anxiety, complex trauma and experiences of abuse, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem, resilience, relationship difficulties, and depression. She draws on this background to offer empathetic, attentive care that addresses both immediate concerns and underlying patterns that affect wellbeing.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and aims to collaborate with clients to shape sessions that reflect their individual needs and priorities. Recognizing that starting therapy can require courage, she seeks to create an environment where clients feel comfortable, heard, and held as they explore change and healing. Her practice emphasizes partnership, listening, and practical planning to support clients toward greater clarity and resilience.

Client-Centered Therapy and Online Care

Lianne works from a Client-Centered Therapy perspective, which focuses on empathetic listening, genuine acceptance, and supporting clients to explore their own goals at their own pace. This approach helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of trauma by prioritising the client’s experience and promoting self-understanding and personal agency.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. She works together with clients to identify which methods and session formats best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these tools to provide consistent, client-focused care that accommodates a range of communication styles and practical needs.
