About Leanne

Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self esteem and depression.

She aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly. Sessions are non-judgemental and paced to the individual. Leanne encourages practical steps that suit each person’s life and rhythm.

Her work often centres on coping with life changes and boosting motivation and confidence. Sleeping difficulties and issues around eating, intimacy and grief are also within her practice focus. She also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD and relationship challenges.

Leanne draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build trust and understanding. She uses cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness tools when helpful to notice patterns and try small changes.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, helps clarify goals and suggests manageable strategies to try between sessions. People who prefer a calm, patient style may find this approach useful.

To begin, a short matching process is used so prospective clients can book a first appointment and see whether the style feels right for them. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and self-view. Online sessions using this approach focus on building a steady, dependable therapeutic relationship and noticing patterns that repeat in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them find their own answers and strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and tests small changes. It is useful for concerns like anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process can include mixing approaches to suit the person’s needs.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around busy schedules and reducing travel time. If you need a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a quieter time without being on camera, these practical choices can be discussed when arranging appointments. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know what will fit your day.
