About Leny
Leny Kuriakose is a counsellor (MBACP) with six years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and also focuses on areas such as codependency, obsessive thoughts, panic and social anxiety and phobia.
Leny uses an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps clients notice patterns, make sense of difficult feelings, and find gradual ways to cope with distressing thoughts or situations.
Her background includes work with organisations that support people affected by anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery. That work exposed her to a wide range of real-life difficulties and responses, which informs how she responds in sessions now. She aims to give straightforward, focused support rather than technical explanations.
Leny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, and follows their ethical standards. This means the welfare of the person coming to sessions is central to how she works.
People often come with worries about being judged, feeling stuck, or struggling in social situations. In sessions she helps people talk through those worries, try small changes, and reflect on what helps in day-to-day life. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Leny works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding. One common strand involves helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, manageable steps to reduce their impact on daily life; this can help with anxiety, panic and social fears. Another strand centres on processing reactions to past harm or abuse by carefully naming what happened and its effects, and then exploring ways to reduce ongoing distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leny will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and pace. She adjusts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what feels too much so the plan stays workable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also let people use sessions while keeping their routine intact, which helps with making practical changes between meetings.
