About Leanne
Leanne holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings four years of professional experience helping people with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep problems and parenting pressure. Her background also includes work with anger, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Her way of working is collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical actions they can try between meetings. Leanne draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practise different responses.
Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she builds a trusting working relationship. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used when someone needs help finding reasons to change or to stay on track. The result is a flexible approach tailored to each person’s situation.
Leanne aims to make therapy manageable for busy lives. Conversations are paced to suit the person, and she helps set realistic goals. This approach helps people take steady steps towards feeling more in control and more hopeful about the future.

How Leanne's approaches work online
Leanne combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person and on taking action aligned with those values, even when difficult feelings remain.She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to shape a supportive working relationship. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Leanne will discuss options and agree a plan that fits the person’s goals and preferences. This happens in a collaborative way so the approach can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and convenience. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style conversations; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, practical problem solving between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives.
