Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
Leanne uses guided imagery and hypnotherapy-style techniques to help people change how they respond to stress and cravings. Guided imagery involves using mental images to practice calmer reactions and improve sleep, while hypnotherapy-style methods use focused attention and suggestion to support behavior change such as smoking cessation.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce anxious thinking. Mindfulness exercises can help with daily stress, sleep routines, and grounding after traumatic reminders. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on imagery and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
