Background and approach

She also supports those coping with panic, social anxiety, life transitions and questions about life purpose. Her experience includes working with concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, blended family issues and pregnancy or childbirth related worries. Sessions are tailored to the person rather than a fixed script.

She listens first, then helps people clarify what they want to change. Conversations explore feelings, patterns and practical steps to reduce distress and build small coping skills that can be used day to day. The approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person.

Leanne can offer different ways to work depending on the problem and the person’s comfort level. She also accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People seeking support are invited to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Leanne uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person’s needs. One common method involves helping people identify unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and panic; this helps with everyday worries and sudden panic attacks. Another approach focuses on processing grief and loss through paced talking, memory work and finding ways to carry on meaningfully after bereavement; this is aimed at easing the weight of loss while respecting each person’s pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leanne will talk through options with the person, consider their goals and preferences, and together decide which techniques to try first. The aim is to find methods that feel useful and manageable rather than imposing a single way of working.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer written conversation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while maintaining continuity of care.
