About Leanne

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred way of working that puts each person’s needs first. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about what is troubling them without feeling judged. Leanne makes time to listen and help people find practical steps forward at their own pace.

Leanne has 13 years of experience as a counsellor and mental health mentor in the United Kingdom. She has helped people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood and bereavement. Her background includes supporting those affected by trauma and abuse, and she has experience with neurodivergent clients including autism and ADHD.

Her counselling style draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which helps identify small, achievable changes. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and on what helps day-to-day functioning, such as sleep, coping with life changes and work-related stress.

Leanne also works with issues around relationships, parenting, career direction, self-esteem and anger. Additional areas she lists include chronic health issues, caregiving stress, and body image concerns. She reflects on each person’s situation and adapts conversations to what matters most to them.

Leanne is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown as BACP. To begin, people follow the site Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows what the person wants to bring to the session, helping them make sense of feelings and decide next steps. This approach can help with stress, low mood, bereavement and relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, small changes that make life easier. Sessions focus on strengths, past successes and clear, short-term goals to improve daily routines, sleep or coping with change. This can suit people who want action-oriented conversations alongside reflection.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approach or mix of approaches to try. This is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it still fits the person’s aims.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments around work or childcare, and allow for flexible scheduling. Others prefer shorter check-ins by audio when lower bandwidth is needed, or video when face-to-face conversation helps. Confirm the available options and choose what best fits everyday life.
