About Leann

Leann Laithwaite is a counsellor who uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. She places people at the centre of sessions and adapts each meeting to their needs. Leann presents herself in a calm manner and aims to make the first contact straightforward for worried parents and individuals.

She trained to a foundation degree level in Integrative Counselling and has worked in health and social care since 2016. That experience has exposed her to different settings and common problems people face.

Background and approach

Over five years she has built practical skills that she brings into sessions. Leann draws on client-centred approaches to focus on the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful to spot patterns in thinking and try small experiments between sessions.

Her psychodynamic experience supports exploration of past events that still affect day-to-day life. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and self-esteem. She also helps with parenting strain, coping with life changes, ADHD-related difficulties and LGBT matters.

Sessions are offered in English and take place using online formats. Leann is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds qualifications in health and social care, mental health first aid, first aid, the Incredible Years programme, ACEs awareness and suicide intervention training.

Her approach is practical, patient and tailored to each person's goals.

How Leann’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions, which is useful for stress, relationship worries and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can use this to spot unhelpful patterns and try simple experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping with anxiety, anger or low mood.

Psychodynamic ideas help explore how past events influence present behaviour and relationships. Talking through histories can bring clarity about repeated patterns that cause distress now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will help decide what fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as goals evolve. The clinician will check in about what is most helpful and adjust methods to match needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier fitting of sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to keep continuity while balancing other commitments.
