Leanne Kemp , BACP

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred counselling style that focuses on each person's needs. She uses an open, non-judgemental approach and aims to create space for people to talk about what is affecting them. Leanne holds BACP, which stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings 13 years of experience to her work.

She supports people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those coping with grief, life changes, career strain and low self-esteem. Relationship tensions, parenting strain and sleep difficulties are included among the areas she addresses.

Leanne has worked with people impacted by trauma and abuse, and she can talk through trauma-related responses and recovery. She also has experience helping people with neurodivergent profiles, including autism and ADHD, and with long-term health and caregiving challenges.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions concentrate on what matters to the individual and on small, achievable steps forward. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused work to help people identify goals and options.

Leanne practises in the United Kingdom and offers online options. She aims to help people find clarity, regain confidence and move towards manageable change in everyday life.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Leanne uses client-centred therapy to follow the person's lead, listen closely and make counselling relevant to their day-to-day life. This approach helps when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, grief or relationship difficulties by focusing on what the individual says matters most.

She also uses solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps and realistic goals. Solution-focused work is useful for people who want clear options, short-term progress and ways to cope with immediate problems like stress, sleeping issues or work strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she will suggest ways of working and adjust the plan as the person's needs change, so therapy stays useful and collaborative.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging which make fitting counselling around work, family and care responsibilities easier. Video calls work well when visual connection helps the conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter updates or days when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
