About Leanne
Leanne Walker uses a client-centred approach to make therapy straightforward and practical. She welcomes clear, honest conversation and focuses on what matters now. She aims to help people find manageable ways to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, and build confidence.
Leanne works in English from the United Kingdom and has 12 years of experience as a BACP counsellor. Her sessions draw on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help people stay present and consider what gives life meaning. Leanne commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes.
She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, career decisions and parenting strain are included in her work. She can address more complex difficulties too, including trauma and abuse, bipolar mood difficulties, attachment issues, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Leanne aims to set clear, realistic steps so progress can be checked.
People can expect a calm, steady presence and straightforward tools to use between meetings.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on a person’s needs and goals. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone is useful when a lower-bandwidth option is needed, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These formats give flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical steps and steady progress.
