About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She draws on 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works to make talking about difficult feelings straightforward and manageable.
She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief and intimacy-related concerns, and she includes codependency among her areas of focus. Conversations aim to help people find clearer next steps and build confidence in their choices.
Leanne creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with practical ideas offered alongside time to reflect. She encourages small, sustainable changes rather than forcing big shifts all at once.
Her approach also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Mindfulness and existential perspectives can be brought in to help with meaning, purpose and living with uncertainty.
Leanne aims to work collaboratively so people feel heard and understood. She supports people taking early steps towards change, helping them build coping strategies and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
How Leanne's approaches translate to online counselling
Leanne draws on client-centred and attachment-based ways of working to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, and she uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client’s pace to help them feel understood. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help people see how those patterns affect current feelings and choices. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and concerns and decide together which combination of approaches fits best. This collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling into their week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets during sessions in a way that suits their daily routine.
