About Leanne
Leanne Walker is a counsellor who uses Existential therapy alongside practical talking approaches. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. Leanne writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Leanne has 12 years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She draws on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her rather than using one fixed technique.
Background and approach
In sessions she makes space for people to talk about what matters most to them. She listens for patterns in thinking and feeling, and helps people notice choices they can make now. Work can include looking at thoughts, trying new ways of responding, and building everyday habits that ease distress.
Practical concerns such as sleeping, eating, parenting or work stress are explored alongside deeper questions about purpose and meaning. Leanne also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction or relationship and intimacy issues. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth rather than clinical or distant.
People meet her for short-term focused work or longer conversations about life direction. She encourages small, realistic steps and checks progress together so work stays relevant to the client’s goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Existential therapy helps people tackle big questions about purpose, values and the choices they face. In practice this can mean talking through feelings of meaninglessness, life transitions or identity concerns to find clearer direction. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness; it helps with relationship struggles, intimacy issues and communication habits.Client-Centred Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This approach suits people who need time to find their words and build confidence at their own pace. Together these methods allow practical symptom work alongside deeper discussions about values and relationships, and decisions about which approach to use are made collaboratively with the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls are good if bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
