Leanne Walker uses a client-centred approach to help people find steadier footing during hard times. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful. Leanne keeps language simple and practical so parents and carers can follow along easily.

Leanne has 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and works with depression and big life changes.

Background and approach

Her work also covers ADHD, addictions, grief and trauma and abuse. Her approach is collaborative. Leanne listens first and then helps clients set clear, manageable goals.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to reduce unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Attachment-based and existential ideas also inform her work. These help when people struggle with relationships, meaning, or long-standing patterns from early life.

Sessions focus on practical steps alongside understanding how past experiences affect present choices. Leanne also offers support around intimacy, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting concerns, anger and career challenges. She addresses additional topics such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and communication problems.

Sessions aim to be practical, steady and focused on what matters most to the client.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Leanne uses client-centred counselling which means sessions begin with the person and their priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers, and it can help with stress, confidence and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful habits during online sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods based on each person’s goals, preferences and life situation. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth, while live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life.
