About Leanne

Leanne Kernohan helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and related issues by focusing on their strengths and personal goals. She works in a person-centred way and combines it with practical approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Her style places the client’s perspective at the centre. She listens to how a problem affects day-to-day life, then uses conversation and practical exercises to build new ways of coping. Sessions can cover motivation, self‑esteem and confidence, along with relationship and intimacy concerns when these affect an individual.

Leanne also addresses issues linked to family and parenting concerns, grief, sleeping difficulties and compassion fatigue. She works with people facing life changes, career stress, anger and problems related to chronic illness or disability. Addiction-related support includes alcohol and drug difficulties and associated behaviour change work.

Her practice draws on several therapeutic methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports valued action despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current reactions.

Leanne works in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to use the platform process to match and book a first session, where practical next steps are agreed.

How Leanne uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Leanne combines cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and act on what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practising small behavioural changes. ACT supports noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that match personal values rather than reacting automatically.

She also draws on attachment-based and client‑centred ideas to understand how early relationship experiences shape current responses. Together these approaches help with anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and coping with life changes. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and will be decided collaboratively in early sessions based on needs and preferences.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Where online sessions are offered, they can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help people maintain consistency with appointments.
