About Lea

Lea Kendall is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 12 years of experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as anxiety, stress, self-esteem and life changes.

Lea supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. She helps with practical issues like sleep, career decisions, parenting strain, addiction concerns and relationship difficulties. She also works with people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach draws on client-centred listening together with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Lea also uses mindfulness and existential ideas when they help the work. Sessions include talking, practical coping strategies and exercises to try between appointments.

She often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, grief from separation, and communication or control problems. Lea also offers support around chronic illness, caregiver stress, money worries and finding purpose in midlife.

Lea describes working collaboratively and will help set straightforward goals and next steps. She uses coaching-style tools alongside therapy when useful, and may suggest simple self-awareness practices or mindfulness between sessions.

How her approaches work online

Lea commonly combines client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people identify what matters to them, which can be useful for rebuilding confidence in social situations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to try between sessions for anxiety and sleep issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional patterns in relationships and can help when intimacy or communication is difficult.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lea will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. She sees therapy as collaborative and will adapt the plan as progress and needs become clearer.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings, switch off video for lower bandwidth, or choose times that fit around work or caregiving commitments.
