Leanne Banks , BACP, NCPS

Leanne Banks is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She supports those struggling with family conflict, trauma and abuse, and people facing major life changes. Leanne aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings without judgement and to take practical steps forward.

Leanne holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings three years of professional experience in the UK. She meets people where they are and listens first, so the work follows each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions are straightforward and centred on the client’s needs rather than on jargon.

Her areas of attention also include attachment issues, abandonment fears, body image concerns and difficulties around commitment and communication. Leanne can help people who are coping with divorce, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, dissociation, or recovery from domestic violence.

Therapeutic sessions draw on attachment-based thinking, client-centred principles, existential reflections and mindfulness and Jungian ideas. That mix allows conversations that consider current patterns, past relationships and personal meaning. Practical steps and small experiments between sessions are encouraged.

Leanne offers support in English and works with people in the United Kingdom. Online session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging an appointment that suits the client.

How Leanne’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns and try different ways of relating within day-to-day life.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers active listening and reflection so the client can find their own solutions and sense of direction.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Short exercises between sessions can make things feel more manageable when stress or anxiety rises.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then adapt methods as understanding grows. This helps tailor the work to what actually helps the person moving forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
