About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor who uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people manage low mood and difficult life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings 12 years of experience working with issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and able to take small steps forward.
Leanne creates a relaxed space where clients can talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and helps people clarify the next step, whether that is coping strategies or changing unhelpful thinking. Conversations focus on what is most useful right now rather than technical labels. Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect current feelings.
She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s priorities central, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are offered when noticing the present moment can ease distress.
Leanne has supported people with a wide range of issues beyond mood, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and career worries. She also has experience with ADHD, bipolar and neurodiversity-related topics. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Practical information about cost and scheduling is provided through the subscription service used to arrange sessions.

Online support
She also applies cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep depression or anxiety in place. These practical tools often target sleep, routines, worry cycles and small behavioural changes that make daily life easier.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Leanne works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs and goals, and she reviews what is or isn’t working as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to feed back so the plan can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messages work for quick reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
