Bogdana Leete , BACP

Bogdana Leete is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also helps with sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and eating or body image difficulties. Sessions are offered online and by phone to fit around work and family life.

Bogdana tailors her work to each person. She listens first and follows what matters to the client. In sessions she uses practical tools and helps people try small changes that fit their goals. She encourages honest conversation without judgement so people can understand themselves better.

Her approach includes talking through feelings, learning ways to manage panic and worry, and building coping skills for low mood and sleep issues. She may suggest strategies to improve confidence and communication. When self-injury or deep emotional pain is present, she helps find safer ways to cope and supports bereavement and loss work.

Bogdana takes an active role in therapy. She shares self-help techniques and problem-focused steps when they suit the person. She also explores deeper issues that might affect patterns of thinking and behaviour to help long-term change.

In the first session she will ask about the reasons for seeking counselling and what the person hopes to achieve. Together they agree how to work, how often to meet and practical matters such as fees. Clients are welcome to ask about her experience or the methods she uses at any time.

Online therapy approaches and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgement. It involves open listening and reflecting back what the person says to help them feel heard and to build self-understanding. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and deciding what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to reduce worry, manage panic and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and depression because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. These practices can reduce stress, improve sleep and help with emotional regulation during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people see and hear their counsellor while keeping sessions convenient. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer typing or who want brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
