Leanne Walker is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people take the first steps towards changes they want to make.
She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, low motivation and depression. Practical conversation focuses on what is happening day to day and on small, achievable shifts in thinking and behaviour. Leanne pays attention to how thoughts, routines and relationships link together in daily life.
Her work also covers a wide range of concerns including grieving, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD and sleeping or eating difficulties. She supports people managing career stresses, parenting strains and major life transitions. Additional areas include attachment-related issues, body image and caregiver stress.

Mindfulness and attachment-informed perspectives are used where they fit a person’s goals. She aims to keep things practical and relevant to everyday life.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve and on building skills to manage problems between meetings. The process is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs, with straightforward tasks and reflections to practise outside sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means noticing how people relate to themselves and others, and using that understanding to change unhelpful patterns in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small changes in behaviour and thinking to reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they can choose which approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to practise new habits in real life. The exact session formats and options should be confirmed before booking so they match personal needs and schedules.
