About Bogdana
Bogdana Leete is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, sleeping difficulties and grief, among other concerns. She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian and accepts international clients.
Her approach mixes conversational listening with practical techniques. Sessions begin by clarifying what the client wants to achieve and setting a simple working agreement about frequency and fees. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches, mindfulness and person-centred work to support immediate coping and clearer thinking.
Bogdana often shares self-help strategies for managing panic, improving sleep and reducing repeated negative thoughts. She also helps people understand difficult feelings after loss or major life changes and looks at patterns that affect relationships and communication.
In counselling she takes an active role, suggesting small experiments and coping exercises between sessions. That might include breathing and grounding practices, thought-challenge tasks from CBT, or reflective prompts to notice recurring patterns. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit around study, work or family life.
First meetings focus on why someone is seeking support and whether the working relationship feels comfortable. If both agree to continue, they set out how often to meet and what to focus on. Clients are invited to ask about her background and methods at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
She often integrates cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness into sessions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to reduce worry, panic and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices that help calm the nervous system and reduce rumination, which can support sleep and stress management.She also uses person-centred ideas, which focus on listening and reflecting to help people better understand themselves and make clearer choices about relationships and life changes. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and agree on methods that fit the person’s needs.
The biography confirms she offers online and telephone counselling, so check the session options when you book. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or caring responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions when time is limited and remove the need to travel to appointments. Confirm current formats and scheduling details before the first session to make sure they match your routine.
