About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a compassionate counsellor who supports people facing sleep difficulties, anxiety, stress and relationship problems. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through overthinking, grief, trauma and issues with self-esteem. Leanne's approach is practical and down to earth, aimed at helping people take one manageable step at a time.
Leanne uses a person-centred core in her work, which means she listens closely and follows each person's lead. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live around difficult feelings. These choices are used to make small, practical changes that fit everyday life.
Her background includes five years of practice and registration with BACP and NCPS, which are professional registrations listed in her profile. She has experience supporting adults and has worked with children and young people in the past, and she also offers clinical supervision for trainee and qualified therapists.
Sessions aim to build self-awareness and clearer ways of coping with sleep disruption, addiction, career stress and life changes. Leanne explains things plainly and helps set small goals people can use between sessions. She encourages people to try simple strategies for better rest and calmer thinking rather than aiming for overnight fixes.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Leanne suggests starting with a short questionnaire and a first session to agree goals and practical next steps. She works collaboratively and adjusts the pace to what each person needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Leanne uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses and helps people understand patterns in their close relationships and reactions.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Leanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life situation, and together they decide which methods to try. She adapts the pace and techniques to what feels most helpful for the individual.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can be useful for practising sleep routines and behavioural experiments between sessions, and for keeping progress going when life gets busy.
