About Leny

Leny Kuriakose offers an integrative approach to counselling that blends different evidence-based techniques to match each person's needs. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through current problems and find a way forward. Leny explains things in plain language and helps people make sense of patterns in their life.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship difficulties and the after-effects of trauma and abuse.

02

How Leny works

Her background includes work with organisations focused on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery. That experience gave practical knowledge of a wide range of difficulties and how they affect daily life. She has six years of practice supporting people through these issues.

Leny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. This means she follows the association's ethical standards and keeps the client's needs central to sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. The process aims to match the right counsellor to the person's concerns and preferences.

Online support options

How evidence-based approaches work online

Leny commonly uses an integrative mix of evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety and trauma. One common approach is practical cognitive techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours; these are useful for anxiety, panic and depression. Another helpful focus is trauma-informed methods that aim to stabilise strong reactions, reduce distressing symptoms and build coping skills after abuse or assault.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor and client review goals, agree priorities and adjust the way they work together over time. That means techniques are tailored to what the person needs and how they prefer to engage online.

Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls suit deeper conversations and face-to-face style contact. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commuting schedule. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for people who prefer typing or keeping sessions brief. These options aim to make it simpler to fit counselling into everyday life.

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
