Leanne Walker , BACP

Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide a thoughtful and person-focused approach. Leanne focuses on women's issues alongside common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.

She aims to make the therapy room a place where people can speak openly about what matters to them. She listens without judging and helps people name their difficulties. Leanne works with practical steps as well as exploring feelings behind behaviour.

Her background includes supporting people through life changes, grief and relationship worries. She also addresses issues such as addiction, ADHD, intimacy-related difficulties and sleeping or eating concerns. Leanne draws on a mix of well-known approaches to suit different needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. She encourages small experiments between sessions to try new ways of coping. Many people find this mix of practical tools and reflective work helps them make steady progress.

Leanne offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a simple online matching questionnaire helps connect someone with a suitable time and format.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means looking at how people relate to others and testing new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions by offering non-judgemental listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and more able to make choices that fit their values. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and everyday challenges, then try methods that suit the person's needs. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and revisited as things change.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and live chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options let people arrange therapy around work, family or other commitments and make it simpler to keep regular sessions.
