Leanne Glennon , BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. She builds sessions around a strong therapeutic relationship and takes time to understand each person’s concerns. She works collaboratively to find practical steps that fit a person’s life and goals.

Her practice includes trauma-informed and trauma-focused work. That can mean using a phased approach to recovery - stabilising symptoms, processing painful memories, and rebuilding connections afterwards. She has substantial experience supporting people after sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse.

Leanne also helps with parenting worries, grief, body image and issues linked to adoption, attachment and abandonment. She supports people navigating neurodiversity, chronic illness, and long-term health concerns where emotional strain is involved. Her background includes work on self-harm and she drew on this topic for her MSc thesis.

In sessions she may draw on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused methods alongside creative ways of working. The emphasis is on what will help the person feel steadier and more able to cope day to day. She aims to explain techniques clearly and practise new skills together in-session.

Leanne accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients who wish to work in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy is provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Leanne draws on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage distressing memories, intrusive thoughts and unhelpful patterns. These approaches break problems into manageable parts, teach grounding and coping skills, and include step-by-step ways to approach feared situations or memories.

She also uses emotion-focused methods which help people identify, tolerate and work with strong feelings. This can be useful for grief, relationship wounds, attachment struggles and for people who want to understand their emotional responses more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will talk about options and together with the client decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as the work develops and as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing reflection between sessions and flexible ways to share thoughts when writing feels most helpful. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and different time zones, while working with registered or accredited professionals.
