About Leny

Leny Kuriakose helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and low self-esteem. She uses an integrative approach and works with different counselling methods to suit each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has six years' experience.

Leny invites clients to describe the practical problems and feelings that are causing distress. She then works with them to identify patterns and make small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day coping.

Her integrative practice means she combines techniques rather than following a single method. That allows her to use different ways of working depending on the issue. She has experience supporting people affected by anxiety, depression, trauma and sexual abuse through work with relevant organisations.

Leny also helps people dealing with codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks and social phobia. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns when these are relevant to the client's situation.

Sessions are organised so that the client sets the pace and focus. The counsellor aims to keep sessions clear and practical, with steps people can try between meetings. Leny works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

How Leny uses evidence-based approaches online

Leny works in an integrative way and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against everyday evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice and change thinking that makes problems worse. Another approach emphasises grounding and stabilisation skills for people affected by trauma, teaching breathing, grounding exercises and step-by-step ways to manage flashbacks or strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leny will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what to try first, based on the client's goals and how they prefer to work. That collaborative planning helps keep the work practical and relevant.

The practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions into a workday, reducing travel time and keeping regular check-ins easier to manage. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity and build steady progress without major changes to their routine.
