About Leanne

Leanne Banks offers a calm, approachable presence for people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family difficulties, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supports each person as they work toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Leanne is identified by her credentials BACP and NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.

She brings three years of professional experience to her counselling. Sessions focus on making space for honest conversation and on helping people name what matters most to them. Leanne emphasises listening first, then helping clients find practical ways to handle difficult feelings and decisions.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and client-centred work that keeps the person’s own goals at the heart of each session. She also uses mindfulness techniques and existential and Jungian ideas when they fit the client’s needs. These methods are used to help with issues such as body image, abandonment, dissociation, and the stress of caregiving.

Leanne supports people through common life transitions like separation, blended family challenges, and changing commitments. She also works with concerns such as communication problems, control issues, and the emotional impact of domestic violence. Practical coping strategies and clearer understanding of recurring patterns are typical focuses in her work.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not currently work with international clients. People interested in starting can follow the site’s booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling

Leanne uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to shape conversations. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present behaviour and feelings, which can help with relationship worries, abandonment concerns, and family conflict. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities in the lead, offering non-directive support so clients set the pace and topics for each session.

Finding the right approach is viewed as a shared task. Leanne works together with clients to agree which methods suit their goals and day-to-day challenges. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what helps most for emotional regulation, communication, or eating-related worries.

Practical benefits of online counselling should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which session types are offered when you arrange appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use mindfulness exercises and reflective tasks between meetings to strengthen progress over time.
