Background and approach
Leanne uses a warm, straightforward style in sessions. She describes her base as Client-Centred, which means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to create practical steps when useful.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help ground and calm day-to-day distress. Sessions aim to feel like a real conversation rather than a clinical assessment. People can expect to be heard, to look at what matters most and to try small, realistic changes between meetings.
Leanne emphasises trust, honesty and a respectful working relationship as the foundation for progress. Her approach suits people who want both reflective space and practical tools. She focuses on building understanding of how the past, present and future interact for each person.
From there she helps identify manageable goals and ways to move forward. Leanne has been practising for 11 years and runs a practice serving clients in the United Kingdom. She combines longer, talking-based work with shorter CBT-informed plans depending on what each person needs.

How Leanne works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, brings a practical edge. It looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses small steps to change patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and specific problems where measurable goals are useful.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. These skills support coping with overwhelming feelings and improve focus in everyday situations.
Finding the right mix is a joint effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether reflective talking, CBT tasks or mindfulness practices are most helpful. That decision is based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences and can change over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can remove travel time and allow meetings to take place from different locations, which helps people keep continuity of care. If you want to know the exact session formats offered, please confirm the current options before booking.
