About Leanne

Leanne Kemp is a counsellor who uses a warm, client-centred approach. She puts the person and their needs first and invites open, non-judgemental conversation. Leanne aims to help people find a way forward through clear, practical discussion and steady support.

She has worked as a counsellor and mental health mentor for over 13 years. That experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma, including past abuse and bullying. She also has experience helping those who identify as neurodivergent, including people with an autistic diagnosis, ADHD and dyspraxia.

Leanne works with a wide range of challenges. These include stress, sleeping problems, parenting strain, relationship and communication difficulties, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also supports people affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress and ageing concerns. Her approach is aimed at meeting the person where they are and responding to their practical needs.

Her practice draws on client-centred methods and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented. This means conversations are shaped around what the person finds most helpful. Leanne favours simple steps and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when that is useful.

Leanne is a BACP member, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and sees people in English. To begin, follow the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, helping them to make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for grief, trauma, relationship strain and many life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions look for what already works and build on it, which can help with stress, sleep issues, career decisions and coping with long-term health challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit those aims. That discussion can change as progress is made, with the counsellor and client adjusting focus together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to manage between commitments, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper reflection. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work to help people fit counselling into everyday life without changing the quality of the therapeutic conversation.
