About Leanne

Leanne Banks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and trauma and abuse. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people feel heard while they work through difficult feelings and situations. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

Leanne aims to build an open space where thoughts and emotions can be spoken about honestly.

Background and approach

Sessions are intended to help people make small, practical changes that feel manageable. Her approach draws on several therapeutic traditions so she can tailor sessions to what each person needs. Conversations might explore how early attachments affect current relationships.

Other times the focus is on understanding patterns that maintain anxiety or stress and finding new ways of coping. Leanne often uses client-centred ways of working, which put the person’s experience at the centre of the process. She may also bring elements from trauma-focused, existential or Jungian approaches when they seem useful for the issues discussed.

People meet her to talk through life changes, separation and divorce, problems with communication, body image worries, or experiences of domestic violence and abuse. She also offers support around caregiver stress, dissociation and attachment difficulties. Sessions are run in English and are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different practical needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Leanne commonly draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people process difficult past events and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach looks at how a distressing experience affects feelings and behaviour and aims to build safer, steadier ways of coping.

She also uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when issues show up in close relationships or when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries or commitment concerns. Client-centred therapy is another strand she uses; it places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions and supports self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Leanne works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit short check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or other commitments.
