Lea Kendall , NCPS

Lea Kendall is a counsellor practising online from the United Kingdom. She has 12 years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. Lea creates a calm, practical space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes.

Lea focuses on everyday problems that feel overwhelming. She helps with parenting strain, sleep trouble, career crossroads, addiction concerns and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the emotional work around separation and loss.

Her sessions draw on client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working, along with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness tools. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building small, steady changes people can use between sessions. Lea also brings coaching ideas when a client wants clearer goals or action plans.

Lea has a particular interest in women’s issues, including hormonal and identity changes such as perimenopause and motherhood transitions. She also works with neurodiverse clients and people coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. Her style emphasises listening, practical steps and reconnecting with what matters to the person.

Outside of counselling, Lea spends time as a nature guide and home-educating mother. That background informs her preference for grounding practices and mindful activities when they suit the work.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Lea uses client-centred work to create a supportive atmosphere where the person leads the pace and focus. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of emotions and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical steps for sleep, anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Lea will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as trust develops and needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a more personal, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can fit a brief check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow shorter, flexible exchanges or ongoing written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional clarity.
