I was sceptical and scared to start therapy, especially online but I have had nothing but a fantastic experience with Leanne. She has made me feel safe and comfortable from day one and I come out of our sessions feeling so much better every time.

Hi there, I'm Leanne; as an integrative psychotherapist, you will always be greeted with a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental environment.
Your reason for looking for me to stand with you? is for me to walk alongside you to help you achieve a more peaceful mindset to help in your everyday life by working through your worries, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Overthinking or Personal growth.
I have assisted thousands of people with working through the root cause of their anxiety, depression and trauma with therapy by talking and using tools; some clients have reported their overthinking being eradicated towards the end of therapy, which significantly reduces anxiety. You should leave therapy with me, having the tools for life when life really does get in the way.
I know this is not an easy thing for you to do, to reach out for therapy. Changes and events in life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of what's to come, which then leaves us feeling unsettled and anxious or have feelings of depression and worry, that feeling of dread. I will be with you by offering this safe space for you to talk and help you process your thoughts and feelings to bring you to a calmer, more peaceful mindset.
I am an integrative person-centred counsellor and have undertaken training in CBT, Solution Focused, Narrative psychology and Couples therapy. This means I can integrate modalities that suit the presenting issue for you as and when needed and collaborate with you.
Along with my own life experience, I have had training in Domestic Abuse through Woman's Aid and First Light. Penhaligons Friends with Greif work.
Through client work, I have experience with Social Anxiety, Isolation, Trauma inc, PTSD, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and relationship breakdowns to include family. Grief, depression, anxiety, and my work is not restricted to these areas.

Trauma inc PTSD, Childhood Trauma, Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I was sceptical and scared to start therapy, especially online but I have had nothing but a fantastic experience with Leanne. She has made me feel safe and comfortable from day one and I come out of our sessions feeling so much better every time.
Leanne's presence and her kindness is so soothing for me as I unpack various issues in my life. I appreciate her ability to listen, to ask questions, and to strike to the root of a matter I found too tangled or complex. I'm grateful to have her help at this time.
Leanne has a good way of bringing me back from chaotic thoughts and onto to the core of the matter
Leanne is trustworthy and enormous fast in seeing the bigger picture. I feel extremely supported and understood. She understands where you are and is able to provide great support and care.
Leanne is an amazingly easy person to talk to. I always feel so comfortable with her, she gives great advice and tasks for me to do. Most importantly, i trust her. Thanks Leanne x
I have had sessions with Leanne and i strongly recommend her
Very personable and perceptive. Manages to unpick seemingly random things and order them allowing self exploration
Currently i am doing a lot of talking (this is the early days of my therapy) however i feel like i have somewhere to go. I wish there was a magic button to make all that is going on in my life just resolve it self, Leanne is the next best thing!
I struggle with trauma and symptoms of ptsd as well as fighting patterns of addiction and Leanne is a huge part of my wellness journey and support system. She is a very empathetic listener and will call you out on your behavior in the most gentle way with perfect timing. She makes therapy as easy and effortless as possible.
Great therapist
Leanne is awesome, she has practical advice & I feel heard.
Leanne is the first therapist I have ever worked with and she has been incredibly helpful and supportive. I feel completely at ease with her and I always feel respected during our sessions. I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to grow with her.
Leanne is amazing! She guided and supported me through a very difficult breakup and the realisations that followed after. Processing emotions and healing suck big time and it is a looot of work, Leanne gave me the tools to successfully navigate through the situation - connect with myself, learn and rebuild my values, understand the importance of and establish boundaries. Through therapy I was able to discover parts of myself (genuinely surprised by some findings), I’ve got answers to questions that always bothered me and was able to validate feelings I didn’t even knew needed validation. It is a long process (will be here for a little while) but I’m really happy I have Leanne's support and experience in my corner. What really helped me was the safe space she created so I could share anything without fear of judgement, she addressed my needs/problems at the time I wanted to deal with them and fully accommodated my pace, while also suggesting areas I should start with when I was completely lost. I really liked the thought provoking questions that made me reflect, challenged me and helped me see the world and situations from a different perspective. Honestly, I don’t know if I would have been able to go through this period of my life in the healthy and mature way I did if it was not for Leanne.
I have only been with Leanne for a few weeks, but I am already feeling the improvement in myself , grateful for the connection with her. She asks the relevant and right questions, thereby making it possible for me to look deeper into myself and certain situations. Thanks so much Leanne.
Leanne was easy to talk to and gave insightful suggestions that I will carry out in the future.
She is a goodwill, genuine and caring person and helped me a lot with different tools and techniques to improve my negative thinking.
The sessions with Leanne have helped me find stability in all that noisy anxious ADHD mess that I call my brain. She has great intuition and often knows better than me what the actual feelings behind all these thoughts are. Her bright attitude never fails to make my day. It's been wonderful so far. Looking forward to more!
Really kind and helpful. Let’s you lead the session with what you think you need to cover which is really good. Everything done with a caring manner.
A great therapist who can challenge effectively
Leanne guided me through a rough time in my life and helped me set a path toward becoming stronger and self-assured.
lovely therapist, very experienced and helpful. I would recommand in a heart beat
Leanne is a lovely, warm-hearted person who has lifted me from the darkness into the light. I can see that she really cares and empathises with me. She offers practical tips to help with issues of negative thinking and low self-esteem and she has helped me to heal from the trauma of previous relationships. She has provided practical tips which are easily incorporated to my day to day life. She offers flexible slots for my work schedule and checks in with me. I could not recommend Leanne highly enough and will be forever grateful for her skills which, coupled with her empathic nature, have changed my outlook on life.
Very easy to speak with and caring .
absolutely amazing! before I met Leanne I have no idea where to go or what to do, she has stopped me in my steps and is putting in strategies and walking me through the situations! she is honestly fantastic!
She is the best highly recommended
I feel sad to end this! Leanne has helped me in the most efficient and kindest ways to overcome my anxiety, identity crisis and grief. The sassions with her held so much space for emotions and did really upgrade the quality of my day to day life. She is such an empath, very competent and overall just a blessing! I recommend Leanne a lot.
Working with Leanne has been truly transformative. With her calm understanding she has helped me to understand specific events, reframe certain negative thoughts, and ultimately get back to feeling more like ME. Thank you Leanne ☺️
Leanne helped me to move forward from a breakup with empahty and kind firmness. I enjoyed our sessions together as she held space for both laugh and tears. I can warmly recommend working with her.
Leanne is great to work with, she made me feel very at ease and I was able to open up to her about my issues. Leanne has a wealth of knowledge of coping with anxiety, boundaries, relationship issues. I would highly recommend Leanne and I’m glad I got to work with her.
I’m content with my experience with Leanne , feel a lot of empathy and flexibility in therapy sessions
Leanne is very easy to talk to, quick to pick up on what’s going on in a situation, poses thoughtful questions, and provides honest and thoughtful feedback.
I really feel listened to and always feel better after my sessions with Leanne. The clarity I have after therapy has really helped me move forwards. Thank you Leanne!
