About Leanne

Leanne Kemp is a counsellor with BACP registration and 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, and concerns around attention differences and codependency.

Leanne uses a client-centred way of working. That means she focuses on the person's experience and what matters most to them. Sessions are conversational and practical. The aim is to help people notice unhelpful patterns and find practical next steps.

She also draws on solution-focused methods. That offers short-term ways to set goals and test small changes. People often use this approach when they want clearer short-term steps for coping or decision-making.

Leanne's background includes work as a counsellor and a specialist mental health mentor. That mix has involved supporting people with trauma, domestic abuse, bereavement and workplace stress. She has experience supporting people with neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD and with complex health or caregiving situations.

Her sessions aim to balance listening with practical planning. Typical topics include managing people-pleasing, setting boundaries, coping with someone else's moods or drinking, and rebuilding self-worth after painful events. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the service button.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Leanne uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. This means the counsellor listens to what matters most and follows the pace and priorities the person brings. It is useful for talking through relationship habits, people-pleasing and long-standing emotional responses.

She also uses solution-focused methods which aim to identify small, practical steps. That approach helps people set clear short-term goals, test changes between sessions and notice small shifts that build over time. It can suit people who want concrete ways to change patterns such as difficulty saying no or coping with someone else's drinking.

Working together, the counsellor and client will decide which mix of approaches fits best. She will help you clarify goals and try methods that match those goals and your preferences. The collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting people, and this counsellor will discuss practical arrangements as part of the first steps.
