About Leanne
Leanne uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioural approaches and cognitive behavioural therapy. She also draws on emotion-focused and creative talking methods to suit different needs. Her trauma work may follow a three-phase model that starts with safety and stabilisation, moves to remembrance and processing, and then to reconnection and integration.
She has 17 years of experience and has worked with people affected by sexual abuse, domestic abuse, complex bereavement and self-harm. Her MSc research examined therapists' experiences of working with self-harm. Leanne describes recovery as non-linear and supports people to revisit earlier phases when needed.
Leanne aims for co-production in sessions, treating clients as experts in their own lives while offering structure and techniques. She helps people understand how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma and uses that understanding to guide the work. Practical coping skills and emotional processing are combined to address both immediate distress and longer-term goals.
Sessions are offered in English and she practises from the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking. To start, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Leanne uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioural methods and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage distressing memories, reduce anxiety and develop coping strategies. These approaches focus on understanding patterns of thought and behaviour, and on practical skills for managing symptoms.She also uses emotion-focused and creative talking techniques to help people get in touch with feelings and express difficult experiences. Those approaches can support work on bereavement, self-harm history and relational difficulties by providing space to notice and name emotions.
Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor works collaboratively to identify which techniques best match each person's needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan over time as progress and challenges arise.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the mix of techniques so online work remains practical and focused on real-life improvements.
