About Leanne

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred counselling style that focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. She creates an open space where people can talk through their worries without judgement. Her work often focuses on everyday thoughts and habits and finding practical ways forward.

She brings 13 years of experience working across counselling and specialist mental health mentoring. That time has involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues that affect everyday life like sleep, stress and career strain. She has also worked with people who identify as neurodivergent, including autism and ADHD, and those facing chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Leanne uses a client-centred approach which places a person’s priorities at the heart of sessions. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help clients identify small, achievable steps towards their goals. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Her background includes work with bereavement, parenting strains, relationship conflict, body image concerns and complicated life transitions. She is a BACP member, which reflects her commitment to professional standards in the United Kingdom.

People come to her wanting help with mood, self-esteem, coping with change, or making daily habits feel more manageable. She supports each person to find what works for them and to build routines that fit their life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Leanne works from a client-centred foundation, which means sessions focus on the individual's priorities. In this style the counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the person brings up rather than directing the session. This helps when the main aim is to be heard and understood.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to help identify small, practical changes that make a difference day to day. Solution-focused work looks for what is already working and builds on it, which suits problems like stress, sleep issues, motivation and everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt sessions accordingly. That collaborative conversation helps shape whether more listening, more practical planning, or a mix of both will be most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to focus on practical goals, habit changes and coping strategies that translate into everyday routines.
