Leanne Banks focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or dealing with relationship and family tensions. She works with those affected by trauma and abuse, and with people navigating big life changes. Leanne aims to make talking about difficult feelings feel less daunting.

Leanne has three years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

Background and approach

She uses those professional standards to guide her practice. Her sessions begin by making space for what matters most to the client. Conversations are straightforward and non-judgemental.

She helps people name their worries, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding. Leanne draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, Jungian ideas, existential questions and mindfulness. That range lets her match practical tools to each person’s situation.

She focuses on concrete steps people can take between sessions. People often come for help with abandonment or attachment concerns, communication and commitment issues, family problems, or the stress of caregiving. She also supports those coping with eating and body image worries, dissociation, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence.

Leanne aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. She encourages small, manageable changes and helps people build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Leanne’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape the way people connect now, helping with trust, abandonment and communication issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and acceptance so clients can find their own answers and build confidence. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices to reduce anxiety and to help manage strong emotions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things out, checking in on progress, and adjusting the plan together as understanding grows.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with around work, family and daily life.
