Leny Kuriakose is a counsellor who offers a calm, practical space to talk through difficult feelings. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She uses an integrative approach, which means she adapts methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed style.

Sessions aim to make sense of patterns, reactions and past events so a person can take clearer steps forward.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and grounded in day-to-day experience. Leny has around six years of experience working in settings that deal with anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery. That background means she is familiar with a wide range of difficulties people bring to counselling.

She draws on different ways of working to respond to what each person needs in the moment. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical standards. That commitment keeps the client’s needs central to sessions and shapes how she works.

Sessions are available in English and take place online in a variety of formats. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. Leny aims to help people find practical ways to manage symptoms and rebuild confidence over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate online

Leny draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to online work. One useful method focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it helps when anxiety, panic or obsessive worries are a problem by teaching skills to manage reactions and reduce distress. Another common strand addresses the aftermath of trauma and abuse by helping a person process distressing memories and learn coping strategies for flashbacks, nightmares and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which techniques suit a person’s history, current goals and day-to-day demands. That way methods are chosen together and adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and texting lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments while still accessing support from registered or accredited professionals.
