How Leanne works
She has worked within the Criminal Justice System supporting victims and witnesses and people involved in criminal proceedings. That experience informs a calm, steady approach when difficult events are part of a person's story. Her way of working is practical and person-centred.
She assumes people know their own story and brings questions that help uncover strengths and options. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures or jargon. Leanne aims to create a space where someone can talk honestly about what is hard right now.
She listens without rushing and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they plan realistic changes that fit everyday life. People choosing to work with Leanne will find straightforward guidance and encouragement.
She helps people build confidence, manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and handle relationship stress. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people break down anxious or depressive thinking into manageable parts so they can try different responses and notice what helps. This method suits stress, anxiety and low mood by teaching clearer ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.Another approach emphasises trauma-informed listening and gradual rebuilding of safety and control after harmful events. It focuses on pacing, grounding and strengthening a person’s own coping skills rather than pushing for fast solutions. That approach can help people affected by abuse, trauma, and the fallout of separation or criminal justice involvement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit the client's goals, current needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can adapt as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
