About Leonard
Leonard Blake is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Leonard works with clients who want clearer direction during life transitions or help managing mood and attention difficulties.
He brings five years of practice experience in both personal work and referrals from national agencies. Leonard begins conversations from an existential point of view - looking at meaning, choice and values - and uses that to build clearer goals.
Background and approach
He combines that outlook with client-centred listening so people feel heard while practical steps are discussed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are used when helpful to spot patterns of thought and behaviour. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) strategies may be offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and communication. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Leonard uses a mix of talking, reflection and focused techniques to help people try new ways of coping.
He explains each step and checks that practical suggestions fit the person’s life. Leonard is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Practical arrangements such as online formats and scheduling are discussed at first contact so therapy can fit day-to-day life.

Online support
How Leonard’s approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal values. It helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed by life changes by opening up conversations about what matters and possible ways forward.Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It can help people who want clearer communication, better boundaries or to understand patterns that affect current relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Leonard will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then use an approach or combination that fits. That process is collaborative and can shift as the work develops.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people maintain continuity, manage timing around work or care responsibilities, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
