About Leanne
Leanne Banks is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first steps easier by offering straightforward support and listening without judgement. Leanne works with clear, simple goals so clients know what to expect from sessions.
Leanne has three years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She creates a calm space where people can talk through painful or confusing life events.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and finding practical ways forward. Her approach draws on existential ideas that look at meaning and choice, attachment-based thinking to understand relationships, and client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience first. She also uses mindfulness and Jungian ideas when they suit the client’s needs.
These methods are used flexibly rather than as fixed rules. In a typical session Leanne listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try new ways of thinking or behaving between meetings. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and to small steps that build change over time.
Leanne practises from the United Kingdom and speaks English. Her work is aimed at people wanting practical, thoughtful support while navigating life changes, relationship questions or the aftermath of distressing experiences.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Leanne draws on Existential Therapy to help people think about meaning, choice and purpose when life feels overwhelming. This approach can help with decisions, uncertainty and finding a sense of direction in times of change. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect present-day patterns and communication, which can be useful for relationship stress and family difficulties. In addition she works in a Client-Centred way that focuses on listening, empathy and meeting the person where they are; this helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as trust builds and as practical aims become clearer, so the plan evolves with the client rather than being fixed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a quiet break or involve less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, care duties and daily life, while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady emotional support.
