Background and approach
Leanne brings three years of experience to her work and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Leanne offers help with a wide range of concerns. These include panic attacks, social anxiety, communication and control problems, issues around abandonment, and challenges tied to blended family life.
She also supports people through hospice and end-of-life concerns, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are guided by what the person needs in the moment. Leanne listens for patterns that get in the way and suggests simple ways to try things differently.
She also works with women’s health questions and young adult issues when they come up. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She lets people set the pace and focuses on what will help them most day to day.
Practical steps and clear conversation are central to her approach.

Practical approaches and online support
Leanne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, manageable steps. One common method helps people recognise unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and depressive patterns. Another common technique focuses on processing loss and grief by creating space to tell the story of what happened, name difficult feelings and find ways to carry on with life. That approach is especially helpful for bereavement and end-of-life concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leanne collaborates with each person to decide what feels most useful, drawing on their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the way she works as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit shorter breaks, live chat can work for quick check-ins and text messaging lets people write when it suits them. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
