About Leanne
Leanne Banks helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma or major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to create a space where clients can say what they need to say without fear of judgement. Leanne identifies the first steps alongside each person and supports them toward clearer thinking and steadier days.
Leanne has three years of professional experience and is credentialed as BACP and NCPS.
Background and approach
She uses several therapeutic approaches to match what feels most helpful for each person. Sessions focus on honest conversation, building understanding and learning simple ways to cope between meetings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, communication problems, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, eating and body image concerns, dissociation and difficulties that follow abuse or domestic violence.
She also addresses fears around commitment, control, abandonment and personality-related struggles in straightforward terms. In practice she blends client-centred listening with reflective tools from psychodynamic and Jungian ideas, and practical attention to present-moment experience through mindfulness. The aim is to make sense of patterns and then try new ways of responding that fit everyday life.
People who choose Leanne can expect calm, direct support and practical steps to manage difficult feelings. To begin a match, follow the Start Therapy button and complete the brief questionnaire to arrange a session according to the therapist's availability.

How Leanne works online
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the focus as understanding grows. That means the shape of the work can change as progress is made and new priorities arise.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed and removes travel time. Others appreciate being able to continue continuity of care during life transitions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and reflective work to an online setting so the therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
