About Leanne
Leanne Banks is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS, with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and the practical pressures that come with life changes.
She focuses on helping people speak about what feels hard. Sessions are conversational and client-led, with space to talk through difficult feelings and tricky situations. She aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients find clearer ways to cope day to day.
Leanne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's own experience. Mindfulness practices may be suggested to help manage strong emotions and bring attention back to the present.
Her approach also includes thinking about meaning and life direction from an existential perspective, and exploring deeper personal symbols and patterns using concepts from Jungian work. These ways of working are used to understand repeated difficulties and to open up different choices.
Leanne has worked with a range of concerns linked to relationships and family life, including communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and separation. She also supports people coping with body image, eating-related issues, dissociation, and domestic violence impacts.

How Leanne’s approaches shape online work
Leanne commonly uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working, and she may bring in mindfulness practices as needed. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others now. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own perspective, with the counsellor reflecting what is said to deepen self-understanding. Mindfulness techniques are simple practices to help manage strong feelings and return attention to the present.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore the client's needs, goals and preferences together and adjust the style as those needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around everyday life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, have a session during a break from work, or avoid camera use when that feels difficult. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered.
