In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their life. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and uses those strengths to make change feel possible. Leanne works in a collaborative way and encourages people to set goals that matter to them.
Her clinical approach draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods. She also uses attachment-informed thinking and motivational interviewing to help with relationship issues and engagement with change.
Leanne has experience supporting people through grief, parenting strain, career decisions, anger and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns such as body image, chronic pain and blended family struggles. Her style is practical, gentle and focused on helping people build manageable steps forward.
How Leanne uses therapeutic approaches online
Leanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses client-centred and attachment-informed ways of working, which means sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process and she will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most useful as therapy progresses.
The therapist biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to work with a registered professional from their own environment while keeping sessions focused on practical steps and achievable goals.
