About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan helps people who are anxious, overwhelmed or trying to make changes in their lives. She works with adults on issues such as stress, depression, addiction, trauma and struggles with self‑esteem. Leanne aims to make talking about difficult things straightforward and practical so parents and busy people can fit therapy into their lives.
Leanne uses clear, down‑to‑earth approaches that focus on what matters to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment‑based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal‑focused rather than heavy or academic. Her background includes four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That mix means she blends practical tools with attention to how early relationships shape current reactions.
She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful. Leanne supports people facing parenting stress, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, anger, sleep problems and workplace strain. She also works with those affected by chronic illness, substance use and changes such as separation or career shifts.
The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that add up over time. People can expect a warm, non‑judgemental space where their values and goals guide the work. Leanne encourages clients to try techniques between sessions and reviews progress together so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, sleep problems and anger. Attachment‑based ideas are used to understand how past relationships shape current reactions and to support healthier ways of relating to others.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Leanne will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those aims, adjusting the plan as needed. The emphasis is on finding useful tools rather than sticking to one method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check‑ins or people who prefer typing, and all formats make attending from different locations straightforward.
