About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has five years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy concerns and codependency among other issues.
Leanne uses a person-centred base and draws on a range of approaches. She applies cognitive behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as on understanding feelings. Leanne is willing to talk about difficult topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and body image. She also addresses concerns linked to caregiving, chronic illness and the impact of other people’s drinking or moods.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens, helps people name what is happening, and then tries small experiments to change what isn’t working. That might mean learning a new coping skill, practising a different response in a relationship, or testing a different thought.
Leanne also supports people who want to explore sexual identity and kink-related matters without judgement. She offers work that includes grief, parenting strain and career stress. If someone is unsure where to start, she asks a few practical questions to clarify the first steps.
People are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are offered in English and Leanne accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Leanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships influence current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they try a method and adjust it if it does not fit; this is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Practical benefits often cited for remote work include easier fitting of sessions around work or childcare, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and not needing to be on camera if that helps with concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-based exercises to a remote setting, using short behavioural experiments, values-guided actions, and relationship-focused reflection that aim to fit into everyday life.
