About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and begin to make small changes. Her manner is calm and straightforward, and she aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure where to begin.
Leanne works in an integrative way, with a person-centred core. That means conversations are led by the client, while practical tools and ideas are offered to cope with distress.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas for tackling unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns, and uses approaches that look at how attachment and relationships shape feelings. She has five years of professional experience and holds the BACP and NCPS recognitions, which are listed as her credentials. Leanne also has experience offering clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists.
Her background means she can explain psychological ideas in plain language and adapt methods to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on building self-awareness, improving coping skills and working through painful events at a pace that feels right. People often come for help with overthinking, trauma, addictions, sleeping problems, parenting stress and low self-esteem.
Leanne supports clients who want practical strategies as well as deeper personal understanding. She works with adults and young people, and accepts international clients. Appointments are offered through a range of online formats so people can choose what suits their life and schedule.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ideas together to see what fits. You can expect a collaborative conversation about what helps most, and adjustments as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to get support. Video calls let you talk face to face; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections or people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and make attending sessions more manageable for many people.
