About Leanne

Leanne Walker is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She emphasises a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Leanne brings 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.

Her practice focuses on practical support for coping with life changes and building motivation and confidence. She also offers help with ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Sessions can cover everyday problems such as sleep and eating, along with longer standing struggles including bipolar and chronic health challenges.

Leanne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build calm and focus in stressful moments.

People can work on concrete goals such as improving communication, managing anger, or developing parenting strategies. The counsellor also offers coaching-style guidance for career decisions and life transitions. Therapy is shaped around what each person needs in the room.

Leanne works in English and practises within the UK. Her approach is steady, practical and centred on collaboration. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.

How Leanne’s approaches work online

Leanne uses client-centred work to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. This approach focuses on listening closely to each person and helping them set goals that matter. It is useful for people who need a calm space to talk through decisions, motivation or confidence issues.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT aims to break problems into small, testable steps, which can suit concerns like anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Leanne will help you decide what fits best. She will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will agree how to work towards them. The plan can change as you learn what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and daily routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working - for example combining conversation with short practical exercises to use between sessions.
