Lianne Gow
Calm, collaborative counselling for stress and trauma
About Lianne
Lianne Gow is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained for three years in counselling and has three years of clinical experience alongside over seven years in wider mental health roles. She works from a respectful, sensitive stance and aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting.
Clients turn to her for help with stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Compassion fatigue and burnout are areas she pays close attention to. Her approach is collaborative. Sessions are planned together so they meet each person’s specific needs.
She listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Lianne also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, control issues, dissociation, and difficulties around communication. She offers help with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and isolation or loneliness.
Practical problem-solving and emotional processing are balanced in sessions. People can expect a calm, patient style that values pacing and choice. Work may include talking things through, naming feelings, and trying small changes between sessions.
The goal is steadier coping and clearer next steps.

Client-Centred Care Online and Practical Options
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and the emotional aftermath of abuse or trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide what feels most useful. This includes checking goals, trying ways of working, and adjusting pace or focus as needed so sessions stay relevant to the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good when face-to-face connection helps. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to access for a range of practical needs.
