About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to offer steady support as people begin to make changes.
She creates an open, non-judgemental space for clients to talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and centred on each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Leanne listens closely and helps people find practical ways to build confidence and motivation. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports people living with ADHD, bipolar conditions and sleep or eating difficulties.
Additional focuses include body image, attachment issues, and the challenges of caregiving and chronic illness. Leanne draws on several approaches to tailor the work to each person. She uses client-centred ways of listening, attachment-based ideas about relationships, cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness to manage stress.
This mix helps people develop new habits and clearer perspectives. She is comfortable working with LGBT people and seeks to understand each person’s background and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Leanne uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques as part of her approach. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s pace to help them clarify what matters. It is useful for building self-esteem and talking through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-centred sessions with brief CBT tasks or introducing simple mindfulness tools, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Session delivery options are not spelled out in the biography, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and sustain continuity of care when schedules change. Shorter check-ins, sitting for a regular weekly session, or picking a quieter time of day are examples of practical ways people often adapt therapy to everyday life.
