About Leanne
Leanne Kemp is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 13 years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem.
Leanne uses a client-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person attending rather than on fixed advice. She listens for what is causing strain and helps people name practical next steps they can try between sessions.
She also uses solution-focused techniques. These look at strengths and small changes that can make a difference quickly. This approach can be useful for coping with life changes, work stress, sleep problems and short-term goals.
Leanne has worked across counselling and specialist mental health mentoring roles. She has experience supporting people with bereavement, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, and long-term health issues such as chronic pain and cancer. She also has experience with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, and ageing.
She has worked with people who identify as neurodivergent, including autism and ADHD, and offers practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Her background includes supporting people after childhood trauma, abuse and bullying, and helping with career and coaching questions.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward conversations that concentrate on what the client wants to change. Before booking, check the current session options and practical arrangements to make sure they suit your circumstances.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without directing the agenda and helps the person decide what to focus on. This approach can be helpful for long-standing issues such as bereavement, relationship strain, or self-esteem concerns.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and on small, practical changes. Sessions look for strengths and manageable steps that the person can try between meetings. This style often suits work stress, sleep problems, or short-term goals where immediate coping strategies are useful.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and will work with the person to decide which way of working to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy continues.
The practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option to avoid travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can make shorter check-ins simpler. The biography does not list the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit with daily routines and technical needs.
