She is Leanne Walker, and she holds a BACP credential and has 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her practice commonly addresses stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, along with depression and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing ADHD, addiction issues, grief and trauma. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns are included in her focus alongside career, eating and sleeping difficulties. Leanne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour.

Mindfulness and existential perspectives may be used to help people find meaning and calm in difficult moments. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate.
Leanne works with each person to set goals and try small changes between meetings. She explains things in plain language and keeps the pace suited to the person in front of her. Leanne’s background includes a decade plus of direct practice in the UK.

How Leanne works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to weigh up which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what is helpful and adapt the plan over time so sessions match what the client wants to achieve.
Confirm the available session options before booking because this biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time and letting people choose quieter surroundings. It can also suit shorter check-ins when needed and allow flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these benefits to help sessions feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
