About Lianne
Lianne Gow is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with three years of counselling training and professional experience. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. Lianne focuses on practical, steady support when things feel overwhelming.
Lianne has worked in mental health roles for more than seven years. That background gave her exposure to a wide range of problems, including stress, anxiety, complex trauma and experiences of abuse.
Background and approach
She also helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, motivation and depression. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to make sessions feel calm and manageable.
People who come to her can expect a collaborative approach where they set the pace and priorities together. In sessions Lianne listens first and then helps people make sense of what is happening. She uses the session time to reflect, ask gentle questions and support people to find workable steps.
That can include focusing on coping strategies, communication habits and dealing with painful memories. Lianne is comfortable working with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, isolation, guilt and shame. She also supports people through life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts and searching for life purpose.
People meet Lianne in formats that suit them - video, phone, live chat or messaging. She aims to make the first step straightforward, and to plan each session around the clients immediate needs.

Approaches Lianne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Lianne will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, based on their goals and preferences. If a way of working needs to change, she will discuss options and adapt the sessions to fit what the person wants to do.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, live chat allows a typed conversation in real time and messaging supports ongoing, brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose the style that best supports progress.
