Leanne Walker, BACP

Leanne Walker is a counsellor who combines warm listening with practical tools to help people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Her approach is calm and approachable for someone taking their first step towards change.

She uses methods that focus on attachment, mindfulness and cognitive skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Leanne aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful rather than overwhelming. Conversations centre on what matters now and what can change next.

Many clients come for help with depression, coping with life changes, motivation, or confidence. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Practical topics such as sleep, eating, parenting strain, career worries and anger are part of the work she offers.

Leanne adapts her style to each person, blending client-centred listening with clear techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. She invites clients to set small, realistic goals and to try tools between sessions when that fits their situation.

Sessions focus on building understanding and useful steps rather than labels. Leanne works in English and offers support through a mix of conversation and short exercises. Her practice is for people in the United Kingdom who want a steady, practical guide through difficult times.

Approach and Online Support

Leanne draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps when trust, closeness or repeating relationship problems feel overwhelming. She also uses client-centred therapy which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions; this means listening first and following what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change mood and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people write when it fits their day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
