About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor who works using an attachment-based and client-centred approach. She draws on 12 years of professional experience in the UK and uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Leanne aims to make the first step into therapy feel straightforward and manageable for worried parents and individuals alike.
Her sessions focus on creating a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
She listens without judging and helps clients name thoughts and feelings. That makes it easier to try new ways of coping and to build small, steady changes. Leanne mixes conversational listening with evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
She uses these tools to help with depression, motivation, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and intimacy-related concerns. Additional areas she pays attention to include ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
She also has experience with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and body image concerns. Sessions are offered in English and arranged online via a subscription model. People begin by completing a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to their needs.
Leanne encourages asking questions about the process and aims to work collaboratively on realistic goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Leanne uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and build more trusting ways of relating. She also uses client-centred counselling which means the session is guided by the person's concerns and pace, helping people feel heard and respected.She may also draw on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT is practical and suits common problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and coping with life changes. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's goals and preferences.
Online therapy with Leanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins and those who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life while keeping treatment focused and practical.
