About Leigh
Leigh Cooper is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on her own life experience to guide people through hard times. Leigh offers both short-term and longer-term therapy to address a wide range of difficulties.
She works with people feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed by stress. She helps those facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, career concerns and changes in life.
Background and approach
Leigh also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Leigh uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding. Sessions are a place to talk openly and to reflect on patterns that keep someone stuck.
She aims to create a warm, respectful and occasionally challenging space where people can try new ways of thinking and coping. Her background includes work with people affected by addiction, self-harm, sexual abuse and domestic violence. She has training in autism awareness and ADHD awareness among other continued professional development courses.
Leigh asks clients to set clear goals and to work at a pace that suits them. Practical conversations and reflective listening shape most sessions. The intention is to help people find manageable next steps and to feel steadier as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Leigh draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to talking therapy work. One common approach is person-centred work, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions; this is useful for building self-esteem and managing depression or anxiety. Another approach involves trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past harm affects current feelings and behaviour and helps people process difficult memories at a steady pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leigh will work with each person to decide what fits best, based on their needs, goals and comfort. She adapts the way she works as conversations progress, and plans are revisited together so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping a consistent course of support.
