About Leanne
Leanne Coley is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Leanne also lists work with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, men's and women's issues, social anxiety and self-love.
She aims to help clients talk through what feels heavy and find practical ways to manage day-to-day strain. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small steps a person can take between meetings. Leanne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to each person’s needs.
Her background includes supporting victims and witnesses in the Criminal Justice System and people involved in criminal proceedings. That experience informs how she works with trauma-related matters and the stresses around legal processes. Leanne listens for what matters most to the person and clarifies immediate priorities.
In sessions she encourages clear, manageable goals and checks progress regularly. She helps people notice patterns that keep guilt and shame active, then looks at practical alternatives to those patterns. People can expect a straightforward, steady approach that focuses on what they can try next.
Leanne offers sessions in English and uses a subscription model where sessions are organised through the platform. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches used and what they do
Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours. Cognitive-style approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of interpreting situations, which can reduce repeated self-blame or rumination. Experiential and trauma-informed approaches offer simple ways to work with strong emotions and the body’s reactions after distressing events, useful for trauma or abuse-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with the client and decide collaboratively which methods to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to support goal-focused work, practical coping strategies and ongoing review without having to rearrange an entire day.
