About Leo
Leo Puttock offers a person-centred approach that foregrounds acceptance and mindfulness. He uses simple, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Leo is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom.
He draws on client-centred listening to create space for people to describe what matters most to them. From that place he brings in techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused work to help people notice values, set small goals and make changes that fit their life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness exercises are used to build calm and focus in daily routines. Leo has worked in the NHS, for local charities and in independent practice. That variety has given him experience supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and identity questions.
He also helps with eating and body image concerns, parenting stress, career pressures and the challenges of coping with life changes. Sessions usually look like a mix of open conversation and practical skills. People can expect to talk through feelings, notice patterns and agree simple steps to try between sessions.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and strengthen ways of dealing with difficult moments. Leo welcomes people who are exploring gender identity and sexual orientation and positions himself as an ally to the LGBT community. He works in English and does not take international clients.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy centres on respectful listening and reflection. The therapist offers empathetic, non-judgemental attention so the person can make sense of their experience and decide on the changes they want to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leo will discuss what feels most useful and try methods together, adapting as goals and needs change. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences guide the choice of tools and exercises.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, while chat or messaging suits quick check-ins and brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, parenting or travel and let people choose how they prefer to communicate.
