Lianne Flood, BACP

Lianne Flood works from a client-centred approach and uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She aims to create a straightforward space where people feel heard and can talk about what matters to them. Lianne is based in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential.

Lianne helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing relationship strife, intimacy-related issues, grief and problems with self-esteem and body image. Practical concerns such as parenting, fatherhood issues, career pressures and coping with life changes are included in her work.

Her approach is conversational and steady. Sessions focus on what clients want to change and on small steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools may be used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try different ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify strengths and build on what already works.

Lianne is experienced in working with matters linked to attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues. She also offers support around topics less often spoken about, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, eating and food-related issues, and intimacy or commitment difficulties. Dissociation, control and communication problems are part of her focus areas as well.

People who come to Lianne can expect a warm, non-judgemental tone and practical conversations about next steps. She encourages small, achievable goals and collaborates with each person to find what helps them move forward.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is built around understanding your experience and reflecting it back so you feel heard. Online sessions let the counsellor listen closely and follow what you bring, supporting exploration of feelings and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that make problems worse and trying practical experiments to change them. Delivered remotely, CBT can include short exercises between contacts and clear tools to use in daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small signs of progress and practical steps that move things forward. It is goal-oriented and often useful when people want quick, directed change or help deciding what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier fitting of sessions into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to keep continuity when schedules are tight or when in-person sessions are impractical.
