About Leanne
Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on listening and understanding before together deciding what might help. Her manner is open and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people find a way forward from difficult moments.
Leanne uses Client-Centred Therapy to make the person's experience central to each session. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels useful for each person.
How Leanne works
With 13 years of experience, Leanne has supported people through anxiety, depression and stress. She has worked with loss and grief, trauma and abuse, and the ongoing strain of caregiving and chronic illness. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career pressures.
Leanne has particular experience with neurodiversity and adoption and foster care issues, and she helps people facing attachment, body image and relationship difficulties. She also works with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue and the practical impact of long-term health conditions. Leanne is a BACP member, which reflects her commitment to professional standards.

Online support options
How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online
Leanne uses Client-Centred Therapy online to keep the person's experience at the heart of each session, offering listening and reflection so people feel heard. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps and to build on what is already working for the individual.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Leanne treats it as a collaborative conversation. She will check in about goals and preferences, and adapt the mix of client-centred listening and solution-focused planning to suit the person's needs and circumstances.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
