Leyla Corbett, BACP

Leyla Corbett welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She offers a calm, honest space for talking through stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. Her aim is to help people find practical ways to cope and to build steady resilience.

Leyla uses a straightforward, empathetic style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She encourages honest exploration rather than forced positivity, and supports people to face difficult feelings so they can make real changes.

She draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when relationships and intimacy cause pain or confusion. Existential approaches are used to look at meaning, values and life choices when people feel lost or empty.

Leyla trained and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and Turkish and works with people from different cultural backgrounds.

Therapy sessions can include talking about family and relationship patterns, body image and intimacy-related concerns, grief, chronic illness and caregiving strain, as well as issues linked to trauma, abandonment and separation. Leyla also supports people exploring kink and alternative sex culture without judgement.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Together with each person she sets goals, tracks progress and adjusts methods as needed. People who want thoughtful, down-to-earth support for difficult emotions often find her way of working direct and compassionate.

How Leyla’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions for stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional patterns in close connections and can help when intimacy, attachment or communication are causing pain. It guides people to name and change unhelpful emotional cycles so relationships feel safer and clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leyla will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth sessions where face-to-face contact helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for written reflection between sessions and quick check-ins that fit busy schedules. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or travel, and let people choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
