Leyla Corbett , BACP

Leyla Corbett offers a calm, listening presence for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She focuses on women's issues and helps individuals talk through trauma, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Leyla aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can take small, manageable steps forward.

Leyla uses a human-centred style that keeps the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She listens closely and helps clients notice patterns, make new choices and act on goals. The work is collaborative - the client sets priorities and Leyla supports progress without insisting on false positivity.

Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused work and existential ideas. These approaches help with emotional connection, understanding painful events and finding meaning after loss or upheaval. Leyla adapts methods to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.

Born into a multicultural family, Leyla pays attention to how culture affects relationships, identity and wellbeing. She uses that awareness to make therapy more relevant to each person's life and values. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish to meet different language needs.

Leyla has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions online in the United Kingdom and to international clients, with options including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

How Leyla's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It helps people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings and decide what they want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional bonds and how feelings shape relationships, which can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leyla will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that feel useful. The decision about which approach to use is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone can be useful when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and the issues the client brings.
