Leanne Kemp uses a client-centred approach that puts each person’s needs first. She creates a warm, open space where people can talk through what is affecting them without fear of judgement. Leanne's straightforward style aims to help people find practical ways forward at their own pace.

Over 13 years she has worked as a counsellor and mental health mentor across a wide range of problems. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief.

Background and approach

She also helps with trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Leanne has experience supporting people with neurodivergent conditions, including autism and ADHD, and she responds to the particular challenges those needs can bring. She also works with issues linked to parenting, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, ageing and caregiver stress.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions practical and person-led. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, achievable steps that can change daily life. Leanne is a BACP member, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She works with people across the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She aims to make the counselling process clear and manageable for anyone taking this step.

How these approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person clarify their own feelings and choices, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. It looks at what is already working and builds on those strengths to tackle stress, anxiety, life changes and career issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape each session and keeps the focus on what the person wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone needs a flexible check-in. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer writing over speaking.

These online options make it easier to schedule counselling around work, caring duties and other commitments, helping people keep continuity of support across busy lives.
