About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide a thoughtful, person-centred way of working. Leanne aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about what’s worrying them and begin to make practical changes.
She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Parenting is one of the areas she supports, alongside relationship concerns, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and communication.
Background and approach
Leanne also works with people facing addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and long-term health challenges. Her approach draws on client-centred practice and attachment-based thinking to build trust and understanding. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Existential ideas help clients reflect on values and meaning when facing big life questions. Sessions are conversational and practical. Leanne listens and offers gentle challenges, then works with each person to set realistic steps they can try between meetings.
She aims for clarity and calm in the room so that progress feels manageable. People who choose this way of working often want straightforward support for daily struggles and life transitions. Leanne encourages small changes that add up over time and helps people stay focused on goals they find meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Leanne often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be useful when people want clearer insight into how they relate to others and why certain situations feel triggering.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities and pace. This helps people feel heard and involved in planning what to work on. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes that relieve anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Leanne collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time if something isn’t helping, so the plan reflects what actually works for the individual.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and are useful when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, reflections between meetings or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
