About Leanne
Counsellor and BACP member Leanne Glennon has 17 years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting questions and LGBT concerns, among other issues. Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work.
Leanne aims to get to know each person and the problems they want to work on. She combines clinical skills with talking and creative methods, and uses elements from TF-CBT and CBT where these fit. Work is offered at relational depth and shaped through co-production so the client helps decide priorities and pace.
She offers both trauma-informed and trauma-focused work. Trauma-focused therapy may be used when someone has experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events. Leanne has particular experience with sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse, and she often frames trauma work using a three-phase model of recovery: safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration.
Leanne has experience supporting people who self-harm and researched therapists' experiences of self-harm in her MSc thesis. She explains common nervous system responses to trauma and normalises those reactions as part of initial work.
Sessions involve talking, practical techniques and creative exercises where helpful. She aims to help people notice strengths and find workable steps to manage problems. People can expect to discuss goals and how to carry on between sessions as part of planning.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Leanne uses evidence-based approaches that focus on practical work and understanding reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour link together and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, stress and some mood problems.Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural approaches, including TF-CBT elements, focus directly on memories and reactions to specific traumatic events. These methods aim to help people make sense of traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact, using stabilisation and processing steps where needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps set a pace agreed by the client and counsellor.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and choosing a shorter check-in when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to help maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
