Leanne Banks

Leanne Banks is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and to support people who want a more fulfilling life. Her approach is calm and encouraging for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Leanne is registered with BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and with NCPS. She has three years of professional experience working with a range of common difficulties. Clients can expect a straightforward, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most to them.

In session she focuses on helping clients understand patterns that affect relationships and self‑image. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape present feelings and behaviours. Mindfulness practices are also woven in to help manage stress and anxiety in day-to-day life.

Leanne draws on client-centred and existential approaches to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their lives. She also uses elements of Jungian thinking when exploring deeper personal themes and recurring life patterns. These different ways of working are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Sessions are described clearly and practically, with an emphasis on listening and collaboration. If you are unsure where to begin, she encourages completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a suitable session time.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It helps with trust issues, attachment difficulties and recurring relationship problems by tracing how past bonds affect present choices.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the person's point of view. It creates space to be heard and supports people in finding their own solutions for stress, anxiety and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leanne aims to work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt how sessions are run as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to keep continuity when life circumstances change, while still allowing work on relationships, trauma and day-to-day coping.
