About Leann

Leann Laithwaite is a counsellor who uses an integrative, client-centred approach. She places the person at the heart of the work and adapts each session to fit their needs. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She has worked in health and social care since 2016 and brings five years of direct counselling experience. That background has given her experience with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, self-esteem, anger, ADHD and LGBT concerns. In sessions she draws on client-centred listening alongside structured techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means she will listen closely, help identify patterns that get in the way, and work with clients to try new ways of coping.

The focus is practical: clearer thinking, better day-to-day routines, and safer emotional expression. Her qualifications include a foundation degree in integrative counselling and a diploma in health and social care. She also holds mental health first aid, first aid, and applied suicide intervention skills training certificates.

She has completed Level 1 and 2 training on adverse childhood experiences. People who choose her often want a friendly but focused counsellor who adapts sessions to individual goals. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for remote work in the United Kingdom.

How therapy approaches work online

Leann draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel understood. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of their experience.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT-style work often focuses on changing unhelpful thinking, building coping skills and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility to suit different days. Video calls can mirror face-to-face sessions, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family and other commitments.
