Leanne McCann, BACP, NCPS

Leanne McCann helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, or big life changes. She is named Leanne McCann and brings five years of professional experience to her counselling work. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and useful for the individual. Conversations aim to clarify what is happening, identify small steps forward, and build everyday coping skills.

Leanne draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centred Therapy. She mixes these approaches to match the client’s needs rather than following a single method.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. These credentials are listed to show professional membership and standing.

Sessions are offered in English and Leanne accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for them. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Leanne’s approaches can suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and certain eating concerns.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Leanne will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals and situation. That choice can be adjusted as sessions progress and needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options help make regular contact easier to arrange and maintain.
