About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the practical challenges that come with life changes. Leanne also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and grief.
She uses straightforward, conversational sessions that invite people to talk about what is happening now. Leanne focuses on helping clients notice patterns in their thoughts and relationships, and on building small, manageable ways to cope. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect a counsellor-led, client-centred style that pays attention to how early attachments and current relationships affect mood and behaviour. Cognitive techniques and mindfulness practices are offered to help with day-to-day thinking, sleep, and stress. Existential ideas are brought in for people grappling with meaning, life direction, or identity questions.
Leanne has worked across a range of concerns including family-related stress, body image, chronic health challenges, and workplace or career pressures. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and co-morbid mental health challenges. Her approach links practical skills with conversations about values and relationships.

How Leanne uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in how they connect, react to conflict, or manage closeness and distance.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. It supports people who want a reflective space to talk through decisions, identity questions, or stress without a prescriptive agenda.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help. Together they will choose which ideas and exercises to try, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around study, work and travel, and it can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions easier to keep. Ask about session length and how the first meeting will be arranged so it fits into your day.
