Leanne Walker

Leanne Walker is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. Leanne aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and down to earth, with attention to the issues that matter now. Leanne works alongside clients rather than directing them, helping to set small, achievable goals and ways to cope between sessions.

Her experience includes supporting people through life changes, motivation and confidence struggles, and grief. She also works with those facing relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and issues linked to addictions or ADHD. Additional interests include attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges.

Leanne draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centred listening, attachment ideas about relationships, mindfulness practices to reduce worry, and cognitive behavioural strategies to change unhelpful thinking. She also brings existential thinking to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged through the platform process. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Leanne uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside attachment-informed thinking. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in relationships and how earlier experiences shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. That joint process may shift over time as priorities change or as different techniques prove helpful.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and practise techniques in day-to-day settings.
