About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also helps people with motivation, confidence and life transitions.
Leanne’s approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She uses practical talking and reflective work to uncover what gets in the way and what helps someone move forward. Sessions focus on everyday choices and small actions that can reduce distress and build steadier coping.
She draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These approaches help people notice difficult thoughts, try out new behaviours and focus on what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and early patterns are relevant.
Leanne pays attention to how routines, sleep and relationships interact with mood and motivation. She is used to working with people who struggle with anger, grief, parenting pressures and career decisions. Practical skills and short-term strategies are offered alongside deeper conversation when needed.
People describe the work as straightforward and focused on usable steps. Leanne supports people aiming to change habits, manage strong emotions or rebuild confidence after hard experiences. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small actions that matter. CBT addresses unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change routines.She also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns or early experiences are affecting current life. These ideas look at how connections shape expectations and behaviour in close relationships and can help when intimacy, abandonment or communication problems are part of the difficulty.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try out different ways of working based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study, work or busy weeks and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or sessions at times that suit a new schedule, which many people find useful when balancing early-adult responsibilities.
