About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the challenges that come with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship concerns, grief and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Leanne uses a clear, person-focused way of working. She listens first and helps people name what is happening for them. From there she and the client look at practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Sessions are conversational and direct rather than full of jargon.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the person’s experience central. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
People who feel they lose themselves in relationships or keep putting others first may find it useful to work on boundaries and self-worth with her. Leanne is familiar with supporting people living around others who drink or use substances, and she addresses codependency as one of several focus areas.
She aims to help clients build clearer communication, manage emotions and find small, achievable changes that fit daily life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to set goals and priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Leanne commonly uses attachment-based ways of understanding relationships and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and helps people notice repeating habits that cause strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people-pleasing patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne treats this as a collaborative process where she and the client review goals, try an approach for a few sessions and adjust it if needed. She helps clients choose what feels most helpful and practical for their situation rather than sticking to one method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone meet with a therapist while still managing work, childcare or other daily commitments.
