Background and approach
Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP. In sessions she invites people to speak openly about what they are feeling. Clients are free to cry, laugh, sit in silence or try practical steps together.
Leanne combines a person-centred stance with practical exercises when helpful. Work may include building simple action plans, trying small measurable steps and using mindfulness techniques to manage difficult emotions. For people who respond well to tasks and structure, she offers CBT-style strategies alongside listening and reflection.
The aim is to help people feel heard and to find realistic ways to move forward. Leanne offers therapy online and in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be a place to untangle the past, steady the present and plan for a calmer future.
She encourages trust, respect and a collaborative approach to change.
Online approaches that combine listening and practical tools
Leanne uses person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helps people feel genuinely heard. It suits people who need space to understand their feelings and to be accepted as they are.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear steps and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, phobias and low mood because it breaks problems into manageable tasks. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods feel most useful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be mixed and adapted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful for those with lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
