Leanne Coley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people managing stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and depression.

She sees clients as experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation.
Background and approach
Leanne aims to make it easier to untangle difficult feelings and to find manageable ways forward. Leanne has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work within the Criminal Justice System, supporting victims and witnesses and others involved in criminal proceedings.
In a session she listens, asks helpful questions and works collaboratively to set small goals. She will support people who are dealing with divorce, guilt or shame, isolation or social anxiety, and issues that affect men or women differently. Sessions tend to be practical and people-focused.
Leanne encourages self‑compassion and helps clients notice what is already working. The aim is to leave each meeting with one or two clear next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Leanne uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people notice and change the unhelpful thoughts that keep anxiety and low mood going, teaching simple skills for when worry spikes. Another approach concentrates on rebuilding confidence and self‑esteem through small achievable goals and by recognising personal strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with each person which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process allows plans to be adapted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls are useful for in‑depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows real‑time written conversation, and messaging is handy for short check‑ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to connect from different locations.
