About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and issues connected to identity and intimacy. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through overthinking, trauma, addictions and problems with sleep or eating. Leanne also supports those dealing with career strain, parenting pressures and life changes.
Leanne works in an integrative way with a person-centred core. That means conversations start from the person's experience and goals.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify patterns, and on acceptance-based ideas to help with painful thoughts and feelings. She also uses attachment-informed ways of understanding how early relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical approaches help with emotional regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming.
The mix is practical and conversational rather than overly technical. Leanne has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those letters describe the professional bodies she is connected with as listed in her profile.
She works with adults and young people, and provides clinical supervision for trainee and qualified therapists. People who come to Leanne usually leave with clearer steps to change unhelpful patterns. She focuses on small, manageable moves so life feels less overwhelming.
If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps them map a starting point and plan the next steps.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside a person-centred way of working. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and taking values-based action so people can move forward despite painful feelings. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and make adjustments as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments and may allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit with your day-to-day life.
