Leanne Glennon

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship. She aims to understand each person's story and the issues they want to work on. Her style is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on respect and non-judgement.

Leanne uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including trauma-focused work and cognitive approaches. She often blends talking therapies with creative methods and emotion-focused work, choosing what fits each person. Sessions begin by getting to know your goals and creating a plan together.

She has 17 years of experience supporting people affected by anxiety, stress, grief, parenting strain, and a wide range of trauma-related concerns. This includes work with those affected by sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. Leanne also has experience with self-harm and drew on this area for her MSc research project.

When working with trauma she follows a three-phase model of recovery: safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration. She explains how the nervous system and memory can react after trauma and works at a pace that suits the individual.

Leanne supports people with issues such as attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. She welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Leanne draws on trauma-focused and cognitive approaches and adapts them to suit the person. Trauma-focused work helps people who have experienced specific traumatic events by guiding them through stabilisation, processing memories, and reconnecting with life. Cognitive approaches help identify and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, listen to your goals, and try methods that match your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what is agreed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking to know which formats are offered.
