About Leann
Leann Laithwaite works from a client-centred base, shaping sessions around what each person brings. She puts people at the heart of the work and adapts her style to meet individual needs. Leann holds BACP accreditation which she uses to guide ethical practice and professional standards.
Leann has around five years' experience in health and social care settings, gaining practical insight across different services since 2016. That background informs how she plans sessions and supports people through change.
Background and approach
She aims to make therapy a straightforward, collaborative process rather than a list of clinical labels. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, ADHD, anger and self-esteem. She also helps people deal with relationship and family matters, parenting strain, and issues affecting LGBT clients.
Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the individual in the room. Leann uses a mix of approaches depending on need. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build trust and understanding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
These methods are combined in ways that suit each person she sees. Practical steps are simple: people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions. Therapy is delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different lives and schedules.

Approaches Leann lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It suits people who want practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feeling, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing over time. These options are practical ways to access registered or accredited professionals and to maintain continuity of care even with a busy schedule.
