About Leanne

Leanne Walker helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using a collaborative, person-centred style. She uses a mix of attachment-focused work, cognitive approaches and mindfulness to help people understand patterns and build new ways of coping. Leanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of experience in the UK.

Leanne works in a client-centred way that brings together elements of attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural methods. She encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation, so people try small changes between sessions. Sessions often cover problem solving, mood management, and ways to handle difficult thoughts or urges.

She has supported people with addiction issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and complex grief, and she helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues. Leanne also addresses challenges such as body image, sleeping difficulties, communication problems and caregiver stress. Her practice includes work relating to adoption and foster care, aging and chronic illness where those issues affect day-to-day wellbeing.

Leanne uses mindfulness techniques to support attention and emotional regulation, and she draws on existential ideas when people want to discuss meaning, choice and life direction. Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical, so sessions focus on what matters most right now and on steps that can fit into everyday life.

Sessions are conducted in English and Leanne works with adults in the United Kingdom. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How Leanne’s approaches are used in online counselling

Leanne often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they may react strongly in close relationships and what might change those responses.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and practical coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help with attention, emotion regulation and urges such as cravings or strong anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and how to break goals into manageable steps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when people need a brief conversation, and can suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need to manage bandwidth during a call.
