About Leanne

Leanne Kernohan is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She works with concerns such as low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Leanne believes people know their own stories and brings a steady, encouraging presence to sessions.

She aims to support and empower those taking first steps toward change. Leanne uses a mix of practical talking and evidence-informed techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without being led by them while focusing on what matters most to them. Her approach is also shaped by attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.

The focus is on understanding how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour, and on treating each person with respect and curiosity. With four years of experience in the United Kingdom, Leanne has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, anger and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, and those coping with chronic illness or addiction. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Leanne helps people set realistic goals, try small changes between sessions, and reflect on what works.

Her style is warm, non-judgemental and focused on real-life steps that fit each person’s circumstances.

How Leanne uses different approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps towards a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, then tests small changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or tackle low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the core and aims to build a trusting working relationship through empathy and non-judgemental listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leanne will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit each situation. She aims to be collaborative, helping people try different techniques and deciding together what feels most helpful going forward.

Online therapy can make regular contact easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when a camera is not needed, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for quieter check-ins, shorter appointments, or sessions that fit around work and family commitments.
