About Leanne
Leanne McCann offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and issues around intimacy. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career challenges and coping with life changes. Leanne works with people needing practical tools and a calm, listening presence.
Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental. She centres sessions on the person in front of her and listens first.
How Leanne works
That helps identify what feels most urgent and what can wait. Sessions are steady and focused rather than rushed. Leanne blends a few different approaches to suit each person.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thought and behaviour patterns, and elements of Attachment-Based and Client-Centred work to strengthen connection and self-understanding. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used where emotional regulation is needed.
With five years' experience and credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, Leanne works with adults facing a wide range of challenges. She is based in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients are also accepted.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and issues where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits. That collaborative step ensures sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a lunch break or be easier with limited bandwidth, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
