About Leanne
Leanne Coley is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, men's and women's issues, and social anxiety and phobia.
Leanne takes a straightforward approach. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and helps them clarify what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and on recognising strengths that can be used to manage difficult feelings. Conversations are kept plain and direct so progress is easy to notice.
Her background includes work within the Criminal Justice System, supporting victims and witnesses and people involved in criminal proceedings. That experience shaped her ability to work with trauma and with the complex feelings that can follow difficult events. She draws on that experience to help people feel steadier when they face stressful situations.
Leanne aims to help people build confidence and improve day-to-day functioning. She offers straightforward tools and checks how they are working between sessions. Where relationships are a concern, she helps people clarify needs and set realistic next steps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
Approaches and how online work is organised
Leanne describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and offer clear strategies to test and change those thoughts; these are often used when worry, anxiety or negative self-beliefs are a key problem. Behavioural approaches focus on gradual exposure and behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance and build confidence in feared situations, which can help with social anxiety and phobia.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review which methods feel most useful, based on the person’s goals, life situation and preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. The therapist will discuss which session length and rhythm suit everyday life and practical constraints.
