Lea Kendall
Practical, empathetic online therapy for adults
About Lea
Lea Kendall practises a blend of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies and emotionally focused ideas to help people facing stress and anxiety. She is listed with NCPS and brings 12 years of experience to online sessions. Lea aims to create a calm, straightforward space so people can speak plainly about what feels hard and start to make small changes.
She helps people who are coping with depression, parenting strain, relationship problems and addictions.
Background and approach
Lea also supports those dealing with sleep problems, career uncertainty and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Many clients seek help with low self-esteem, impulsivity, or feeling isolated and unsure of their life direction. Lea uses practical tools alongside listening.
That can look like noticing patterns of thinking, trying short experiments to change behaviour, and working on emotional connection in relationships. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused steps are often included to build immediate coping skills. Her work also attends to more specific concerns such as attachment wounds, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, money worries and midlife shifts.
Conversations aim to be clear and grounded, not full of jargon, so people can use what they learn right away. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging which many find easier to fit around busy lives. Lea welcomes international clients and works in English to support change at whatever pace the person needs.

How Lea's approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their experience, giving space for what matters most and encouraging self-directed change. It helps when someone needs a listening, non-judgemental relationship to clarify thoughts and feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small practical experiments to reduce distress. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns that keep repeating.
Emotionally focused ideas attend to how people connect and respond in close relationships, and they help when emotions feel overwhelming or communication breaks down.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lea works collaboratively to identify goals and then tries methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences. Together they check what helps and adapt the work as things change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth, while live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
