Lea Kendall, NCPS

Lea Kendall is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people facing stress and life changes. She holds the NCPS credential and brings 12 years of practice experience. Lea aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through what feels stuck and start making changes.

Her main focus includes anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, burnout and ADHD. She also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, addictions and career worries. Lea lists living with chronic pain, illness and disability among her additional areas of focus, alongside concerns such as money worries, loneliness and life purpose.

Lea blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused work. She uses mindfulness and existential approaches too, and draws on solution-focused steps when clients want concrete next actions. Sessions include gentle coaching and practical exercises to build coping skills and clearer thinking.

Her background includes extensive time working with adults who feel disconnected from themselves and want to find direction. Lea values collaboration - she helps people set goals and checks in about what’s helpful. She also adapts tools like nature-based exercises and self-awareness practices when they suit a person’s situation.

Based in the United Kingdom, Lea provides therapy in English and accepts international clients. She offers a subscription model of sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Lea’s approaches translate to online work

Lea uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person, helping them feel heard and decide next steps. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through and identify personal goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep routines and managing stress by giving simple, practical tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lea will discuss your needs and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. That means sessions can be adapted over time as goals and circumstances change.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online therapy helps fit counselling around work, family and health responsibilities. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and use exercises at home between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical steps to make sessions useful and workable within everyday life.
