Leny Kuriakose
Calm, adaptable counselling for emotional strain
About Leny
Leny Kuriakose offers a practical, person-centred approach to counselling. She keeps things simple and clear so people can talk through what feels difficult. Leny aims to make clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on different counselling approaches to suit each person. That means she adapts techniques to match the issue and the individual's preferences rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
This helps when concerns range from stress and anxiety to depression or low self-esteem. Leny has six years' experience and has worked with organisations focused on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and trauma recovery. That background means she is familiar with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, panic and panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.
She also supports people dealing with codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted; she works with people in the United Kingdom.
Fees vary by location and depend on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then arranges sessions according to therapist availability. Leny follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, which keeps the client's needs central to each session.

How different approaches work online and in sessions
Leny uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One common approach she draws on is trauma-informed work, which focuses on helping people make sense of distressing experiences and reduce their impact on everyday life. This can help with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and other trauma-related concerns.Another technique she may use centres on anxiety management skills. That involves learning practical tools to reduce panic attacks, manage obsessive or compulsive thoughts, and cope with social anxiety or phobias. The emphasis is on simple strategies you can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leny will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then suggest methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls let you talk face to face; phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth; chat and messaging allow more flexible, written exchanges when that feels easier. Many people find the range of formats helps them keep continuity and make steady progress.
