Background and approach
Leanne uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy alongside methods such as acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Leanne has five years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those are the professional markers listed in her profile.
She also draws on attachment and client‑centred thinking when exploring how past relationships colour current worries. In a typical session she helps people name emotions, test small coping steps, and practice new ways of relating to themselves. This might include noticing difficult thoughts, working with values, or tracking patterns in relationships and intimacy.
The tone is compassionate and practical rather than clinical. Leanne supports people through short‑term problems and longer emotional work. She can offer guidance around adoption and foster care issues, ageing concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and sex culture matters, and other focused topics listed in her profile.

Online support
How Leanne’s approaches work in online therapy
Leanne uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy to help people spot and name their emotional patterns and how these affect close relationships. EFT focuses on emotions and the ways they shape reactions, which can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment worries and recurring relational cycles.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that match their values. ACT is helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it focuses on action guided by values rather than getting stuck in thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leanne will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts sessions over time so the plan evolves as progress is made and as practical concerns change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is good for face‑to‑face conversation and emotional work, phone can suit shorter check‑ins or lower bandwidth situations, and text or chat options let people check in between sessions or use therapy in shorter bursts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue work if circumstances shift.
