About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also works with concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem and career change. Leanne offers a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what feels hard right now.
Leanne uses a person-centred base and draws on a range of approaches to suit each person. That means she listens first and then uses methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and practical, with time to reflect as well. With five years' experience, Leanne brings a grounded and compassionate style to her work. She holds BACP and NCPS as listed credentials and brings that experience into session planning and case thinking.
Her focus is on helping people build skills to cope, recover from setbacks, and make changes they want. Leanne also has additional interest in areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, body image and caregiver stress. She is comfortable supporting people who identify as LGBT and those coping with chronic illness or life changes.
This means conversations can include relationship patterns, values, boundaries and practical strategies. People can expect sessions that balance listening with active tools and homework where useful. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and Leanne works at a pace each person finds manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Leanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear strategies to reduce distress and build new habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leanne will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. She adapts techniques over time so therapy matches how you respond and what you want to achieve.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping a regular rhythm of sessions.
