Leanne Kemp
Gentle client-centred counselling with practical steps
About Leanne
Leanne Kemp uses a client-centred approach to create a warm, open space where people can talk about what is worrying them. She explains things plainly and listens without judgement so individuals can find their own way forward. Leanne is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
She combines a focus on the person in front of her with practical, solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often balance listening with short-term goals and steps to try between appointments.
Background and approach
Leanne has worked in counselling and mental health mentoring for over 13 years and draws on that background when supporting people through change. Common topics she supports include stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. She also works with grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger and career concerns.
Additional areas of focus include trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and parenting strains, along with specific issues such as attachment, adoption and caregiver stress. Her experience includes supporting people who have faced chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain and neurodivergent needs such as autism and attention differences. She also addresses communication problems, codependency and relationship difficulties from an individual perspective.
Leanne uses everyday language in sessions and aims to help people feel understood while working towards practical shifts. Leanne is a BACP member, which is listed as a professional credential. She describes her role as counselling psychotherapist and psychologist and draws on over a decade of practice in mental health mentoring and counselling.

How Client-Centred and Solution-Focused Work Online
Leanne combines client-centred listening with solution-focused steps to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist puts the person's concerns at the centre, offers warmth and non-judgemental listening, and follows what matters most to the individual. This approach is helpful for issues like low mood, anxiety and relationship stress because it prioritises the person's experience.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting short-term goals and identifying small, achievable steps. It works well when someone wants concrete ideas to try between sessions, such as changes to routines for better sleep or coping strategies for stress. These two approaches are used together so listening and practical planning sit alongside each other.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leanne works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means the therapy style can change over time depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
