Approaches Leanne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that can lead to change. This approach is useful for problems like stress, low mood or work and relationship difficulties where concrete adjustments can make a difference.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the person and agree on a way of working together. That conversation helps shape whether more listening, structured tasks or short-term solutions are prioritised.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are suited to full conversations and visual contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options give flexibility for different routines, time zones and energy levels, helping people sustain therapy over time.
