About Leanne

Leanne Coley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She works with people who are dealing with separation or divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, social anxiety, and issues specific to men or women.

Leanne brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Before moving into independent practice she worked within the criminal justice system supporting victims and witnesses and people involved in legal proceedings. That background shapes her understanding of trauma and the practical challenges people may face. In sessions she treats the client as the expert of their own story and focuses on practical ways forward.

Conversations usually begin by identifying what matters most to the client and by setting small, achievable goals. Leanne uses clear language and avoids jargon so people can focus on making changes rather than learning therapy terms. Her approach aims to build on strengths and to support clients while they try new ways of coping.

She encourages regular check-ins and adjustments so the work stays relevant. The goal is to help people feel more confident and more able to manage day-to-day stresses. People choose Leanne when they want a counsellor who listens, offers straightforward guidance, and keeps the process focused on realistic progress.

She helps clients take the next steps toward better wellbeing at a steady, achievable pace.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Leanne lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Leanne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and managing trauma. One common approach helps people learn clear coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, activity planning and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These methods are useful for day-to-day symptoms and social anxiety.

Another helpful strand focuses on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past harm affects thinking, feeling and relationships now. That work often involves building emotional safety, noticing triggers and practising new ways of responding to distress. These approaches are suited to people who want to understand their reactions and reduce their impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be decided together. The counsellor will listen to your goals and preferences, then try practical ways forward and adjust them if needed. This collaborative method helps ensure the work fits the person's needs.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
