About Leonard
Leonard Blake helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He supports those facing relationship difficulties, grief, parenting stresses and intimacy concerns. He also works with people coping with career changes, low self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Leonard uses practical conversation to make problems feel more manageable. He has five years of practice experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Leonard originally approaches therapy from an existential perspective.
Background and approach
That means he pays attention to how people make sense of their lives and what matters most to them. From there he draws on other methods to match the person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and client-led.
He uses client-centred ideas to help people lead the pace and make their priorities clear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when useful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to test them. When emotions run high he brings in emotion-focused and attachment-based work to help people understand patterns in relationships.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are introduced when people need tools for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful behaviours. People can expect a straightforward, calm approach that aims to make next steps practical. Leonard listens for what is most urgent and works with each person to plan achievable changes.
The focus is on clear, down-to-earth conversations that help people move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will work with the person to weigh their goals, preferences and what feels most practical. Over the first sessions they will review what helps and adapt the plan if needed.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals in a range of formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective notes or when someone prefers not to be on camera. All formats make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and access a therapist from different locations.
