About Leanne

Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Leanne encourages clear, practical steps alongside time to talk and be heard.

She aims to make the therapy space straightforward and calm. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping with life changes, motivation, confidence, and everyday struggles such as sleep or eating concerns. Leanne also offers support for people managing trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Her approach blends attachment-based thinking with client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods. That means she listens for patterns in relationships, helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, and works with each person to set realistic, manageable goals. Mindfulness and existential ideas are used where they fit the person’s needs.

Leanne has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. She keeps the work practical, with small steps that can be tried between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are held in the UK and are conducted in English. The therapist is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Leanne uses attachment-based ideas to notice patterns in relationships and how they affect daily stress. This helps when someone wants to understand repeated reactions to others or feels unsettled after loss or abandonment. Client-centred work means sessions are paced around the person and their concerns, focusing on being heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) brings practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviours between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leanne discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to suit their needs. She works collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in on a work break. It can also help people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need quieter surroundings. Talk with the therapist when you book to agree the best way to meet and the practical arrangements that suit your life.
