Bogdana Leete, BACP

Bogdana Leete offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, difficulties with sleep, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting-related pressures. She works with concerns such as anger, eating and body-image issues, compassion fatigue, and the practical strains of life changes.

Bogdana frames therapy around each person as an individual. She listens first to what matters to you and then matches methods to your needs. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth, with tools you can try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and active. She uses talking therapy alongside exercises and coping techniques to reduce panic, manage worry, improve sleep and address self-harming urges. Bogdana also helps people reconnect with family or social life when low mood has driven them away.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused strategies. That mix allows her to focus on immediate problems while also looking at longer-term patterns that affect mood and relationships.

Bogdana has been practising for six years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions online and by phone to fit around your commitments. Sessions are available in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches and online counselling that fit your life

Client-centred work focuses on you and your perspective. The counsellor listens without judgement, helps you make sense of feelings, and follows your priorities to set the direction of therapy. It is useful for people who need a supportive space to be heard and understood.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Sessions include practical exercises to reduce panic, manage worry and change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and help with emotional regulation. These techniques can support people who feel overwhelmed or stuck in repetitive negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what to try first and will adapt methods as goals and needs become clearer. You are involved in choosing what feels right for you.

Online counselling offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face contact when that matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
