About Lea
Lea Kendall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses client-centred care as the starting point. She blends practical tools and listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. Lea has 12 years of experience and holds the NCPS credential.
Lea focuses on supporting adults through a wide range of concerns. These include parenting strains, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, sleeping problems, career decisions and compassion fatigue.
How Lea works
She also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, and problems with guilt, shame or impulsivity. Her approach mixes talking therapy with structured techniques. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.
Emotionally-focused work supports people to understand and respond to strong feelings. Mindfulness is used to help slow down and notice what is happening in the present moment. Solution-focused ideas and existential questions are used when practical steps or meaning-making are needed.
Lea aims to match techniques to what the person wants to achieve. Sessions are offered online, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients may be seen in English.
Costs vary by location and follow a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to Lea's availability.

How Lea's approaches work online
Lea commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy when working with people online. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and building a trusting relationship, so sessions begin by exploring what matters most to the person and following their pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and lift low mood.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people better understand and respond to strong feelings in relationships and themselves. This approach can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and when emotions get in the way of clear decision-making. Lea will work collaboratively to decide which approaches suit the person's goals and preferences rather than assuming one way is best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around a busy day and to reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to use the approaches above in ways that fit everyday life.
