Leonard Blake, BACP
Leonard Blake is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction.
About Leonard
Leonard Blake is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. He also supports those facing depression, grief, relationship strain and parenting challenges. He draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person he meets.
He has worked in independent practice for five years. Before that he worked with referrals from national agencies as well as personal clients, so he has experience with a wide range of situations.
Background and approach
He uses that background to shape practical sessions that focus on what matters most to the client. Leonard often begins from an existential viewpoint. That means he looks at how a person makes sense of their life and what they want from it.
From there he uses talking-based methods to help people find clearer routes forward. His style blends client-centred listening with structured tools when needed. He may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking or emotion-focused and attachment ideas to look at relationships and patterns.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and honest. People come for help with eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career dilemmas and coping with life changes. He also supports those facing intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue.
He adapts the work to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Leonard uses a mix of therapy styles to match different needs. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of traumatic events and helps people process reactions so they can feel less overwhelmed; it is often used for those who struggle with intrusive memories or strong emotional responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour and can help people understand patterns in close relationships and build healthier ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathetic listening and creating a space where the client leads the pace and topics of the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences, and then suggest a path forward. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to better suit what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler during a busy day. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
