Leanne Walker
Experienced counsellor focused on practical change
About Leanne
Leanne Walker uses client-centred and attachment-informed approaches to guide people through difficult moments. She focuses on building a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. Leanne explains what to expect and works at a steady, practical pace so people feel understood.
With 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she has supported people facing depression, grief and motivation challenges. Her work includes helping those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, addictions and bipolar concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses everyday problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger and career stress. Leanne draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. She brings mindfulness practices into sessions to reduce overwhelming feelings and to improve focus.
Her attachment-based perspective helps explore how early relationships affect current patterns. She also works with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and those managing long-term illness or caregiver stress. Other areas she attends to include autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems and body image worries.
Leanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging and supports people in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions around scheduling options.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Leanne often uses client-centred work to prioritise what the person brings to each session, listening closely and following the client's pace. This approach helps when someone needs an accepting place to talk through feelings about stress, identity or relationship worries.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT can help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behavioural changes and measure progress, which suits concerns like anxiety, depression and low motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the method can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions give practical benefits such as flexibility and easier access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick updates, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. Registered professionals and therapists use these formats to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
