Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne uses trauma-focussed work to gently address the impact of distressing events. This involves an initial phase of stabilisation and learning ways to manage overwhelming feelings, followed by careful processing of memories and rebuilding a sense of connection and normal routines. It is useful for people who have experienced specific traumatic events or complex bereavement.

She also uses cognitive approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding. These practical techniques can reduce anxiety and help with stress, low mood or recurring worries. Emotion-focused and creative methods are added when exploring feelings or using non-verbal ways to make sense of experience.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that match the client's goals, pace and preferences. Over time the plan can change as progress is reviewed, so work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or when not using a camera, and live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or working in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or schedules would otherwise interrupt progress.
