About Leanne
Leanne Glennon is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. She is a BACP member and brings 17 years of experience to each session. Leanne aims to build a steady, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood before moving into focused work.
Her style begins with getting to know the person and the problems they want to address. She adapts methods such as trauma-focused work and cognitive approaches alongside creative and emotion-focused exercises.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the individual finds most helpful rather than a fixed protocol. Leanne has substantial experience supporting people after sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and traumatic bereavement. She uses a phased model for trauma recovery - safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, then reconnection and integration - and accepts that progress may move forwards and backwards.
She also works with stress, grief, parenting concerns, LGBT issues and a wide range of related difficulties such as abandonment, attachment issues, eating and body-image concerns, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Self-harm and complex presentations are within her experience, informed by research she completed for her MSc. Therapy with Leanne focuses on practical steps and personal strengths.
She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, communicate and manage strong emotions. The pace and techniques are chosen together, with attention to what fits the person’s life and goals.
Evidence-led approaches and online support
Leanne commonly draws on trauma-focused methods and cognitive approaches. Trauma-focused work involves helping people move through phases of safety and stabilisation, processing difficult memories, then rebuilding connections and routines. Cognitive approaches look at thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going and teach practical techniques to interrupt those patterns.She may also use emotion-focused and creative techniques to help people name feelings and try new ways of coping. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide together which methods match the person’s needs, goals and pace of change.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well when face-to-face contact and visual cues matter, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat can help with brief, focused conversations, and text therapy allows ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping continuity when life circumstances change.
