About Leanne

Leanne Coley works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mens and womens issues, social anxiety and self-love. Leanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Leanne believes the person themselves is the expert on their life. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses these to help address what feels difficult. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk through what caused problems and what might help now.

She has worked within the Criminal Justice System supporting victims and witnesses as well as people involved in criminal proceedings. That background informs her work with trauma and with people navigating legal or court-related stress.

In sessions Leanne aims to make steps manageable. She helps people break worries into smaller parts, try new ways of coping and review what does and does not help. She encourages straightforward plans that fit everyday life.

Leanne offers a steady, evidence-informed approach rather than quick fixes. She checks progress alongside each person and adjusts the focus as goals change. People who want direct, practical support for anxiety, relationship strain or low mood may find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches work with online sessions

Leanne works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding. One common approach she uses looks at thinking and behaviour patterns to find small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with everyday coping and social fears. Another approach explores how past events affect current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for people dealing with trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss different options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted if they are not helping.

If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to use remote sessions to maintain continuity between in-person meetings and to keep regular momentum while balancing work and family commitments.
