About Leanne

Leanne Walker is a counsellor who uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Leanne aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about worries and hopes.

Her approach focuses on what matters to each person. She listens first, then helps people set practical goals.

Background and approach

Sessions can cover stress and anxiety, low mood, self‑esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Other areas she addresses include relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD and issues around intimacy and body image. Leanne blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based thinking.

She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people notice patterns and find meaning in difficult experiences. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs. In sessions she helps people identify small, manageable steps they can try between meetings.

That might include simple breathing or grounding exercises, testing out new ways of thinking, or practising different communication moves. Progress is framed as steady learning rather than immediate fixes. People who prefer different formats can work by video, phone, chat or text.

Leanne uses those options to make therapy fit around work and home life. The focus stays practical, compassionate and rooted in what the person wants to change.

How Leanne's approaches work online

Leanne blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-based ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on making people feel genuinely heard and accepted, which helps them talk openly about stress, mood and relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and supports people to test small changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based thinking helps identify how early relationships shape current patterns and supports changes in how people connect with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy moves along.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational session and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who want to fit brief support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
