About Leny

Leny Kuriakose is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also addresses codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, OCD symptoms, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and social anxiety.

Leny describes her practice as integrative, using different counselling approaches to suit each person. She explains that people respond differently to methods, so she mixes techniques to match what each client needs. Sessions involve talking through situations, noticing patterns, and trying practical ways to move forward.

Her background includes work with organisations focused on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery. That experience has exposed her to a wide range of difficulties and ways people cope. In sessions she draws on that experience to offer options that have helped others in similar situations.

Leny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She follows the association's ethical standards and says the client's needs guide the work. This membership is listed as a professional credential in her profile.

For people who are used to putting others first or living with someone else’s crises, she pays attention to how relationships shape daily choices. She works with each person to spot patterns, practise small changes and build clearer personal boundaries over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Leny describes an integrative approach that combines evidence-based techniques to suit each person. That can mean using practical cognitive strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It can also include trauma-informed ways of talking about past events and their ongoing impact, pacing the work to what feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. She works collaboratively to identify which methods feel helpful and adjusts the plan as the work progresses. The client’s goals and preferences guide which techniques are used, and choices are reviewed regularly.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a slot around work or childcare, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. It can also allow sessions without needing to be on camera, which some people prefer when they first start. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often find these practical arrangements help make regular sessions more manageable.
