About Lea
Lea Kendall is a counsellor who uses a client-led, integrative style to help people untangle stress and life disruption. She holds NCPS and draws on a mix of practical talking, mindfulness, and coaching to help clients find clearer direction and feel more capable. Lea focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and coping with life changes.
She also works with issues around parenting, intimacy, sleep, career and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment and abandonment, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and money worries. Her way of working is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative: the person sets the pace and Lea offers tools and reflections to try between meetings.
Simple mindfulness exercises, practical steps from cognitive behavioural ideas, and emotion-focused conversations appear in sessions when they help. Lea has 12 years of experience. She supports neurodiverse clients and people navigating identity shifts, including hormonal or life-stage changes.
Her background outside therapy includes nature guiding and home education, which inform her interest in connection and self-trust. People who come to Lea often want to move from feeling stuck to making manageable changes. She encourages small, steady adjustments rather than quick fixes.

How Lea works online
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical approach that breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT provides straightforward techniques for managing unhelpful thinking and changing behaviour, useful for stress, sleep problems and mood difficulties.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lea works collaboratively to choose methods that fit goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients are invited to try small experiments between sessions and to feed back what helps.
If you are considering online therapy, check the platform’s matching details to confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel, and keep sessions consistent when life is hectic. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed or audio-only meetings when camera time is difficult. Talk through practical preferences at the first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
