About Leny

Leny Kuriakose is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people untangle difficult feelings. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for someone to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and low self-esteem. Leny holds BACP membership, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical standards.

Her integrative way means she draws on different counselling methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed approach. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, making sense of painful events, and finding practical steps forward. That practical work can include looking at relationship dynamics and codependency, or addressing symptoms of depression and panic.

Leny has six years of experience and has worked with organisations on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and trauma recovery. That background gives her experience with people facing post-traumatic stress, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety and related concerns. She aims to help people process guilt, shame, and the effects of domestic violence in a way that fits their pace.

People who meet her can expect a personalised plan that suits their goals. She invites clients to shape the work together and adjusts the methods as they go. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

To begin, visitors are asked to use the platform's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How integrative methods translate to online counselling

Leny's integrative approach means she combines different evidence-based techniques to suit each person. For example, she may use trauma-focused work to help someone process past abuse, which involves gently revisiting events and developing coping strategies to reduce distress. She may also use approaches that target anxiety and panic by teaching breathing and grounding skills alongside ways to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with the client to decide which approaches feel helpful, adjusting techniques over time as goals and needs change. This gives space to try different ways of working and choose what fits best.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact and to follow-up between meetings, while others prefer in-person meetings when those are available. The focus is on creating a workable plan that suits each person's life and supports steady progress.
