About Lea

Lea Kendall, NCPS, offers a warm, client-centred approach that helps people untangle stress and financial worries alongside other life pressures. She puts relationship and emotion at the heart of work, and helps people find practical steps they can use day to day.

Lea draws on client-centred therapy to make space for each person’s story. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationships and attachment feel raw or painful. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven in to build clarity and choice.

People come to Lea with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, burnout and ADHD-related struggles. She also supports those facing career shifts, parenting strain, addiction issues, sleep problems and money and financial issues. Lea frames these as everyday problems to work through rather than labels to be fixed.

Her practice blends talking therapy with practical tools. Sessions can include thought-challenging exercises, emotion-focused conversations, grounding and mindfulness practices, and short coaching tasks to try between meetings. The aim is steady progress you can notice in ordinary routines.

Lea has 12 years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown after her name. She works with adults and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should check session options and scheduling details before booking to ensure they match their needs.

How Lea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Lea uses client-centred therapy to start by listening and shaping sessions around what matters to the individual. This means the work begins with the client’s priorities and pace, helping to build trust and clear goals for day-to-day life.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. That approach is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and practical issues like money and financial issues where thinking patterns influence choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lea will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and regular check-ins help keep the work relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to work from familiar surroundings. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered, since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions help maintain momentum with short tasks between meetings and simple mindfulness or CBT exercises that slot into everyday life.
