Leanne McCann

Leanne McCann is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. Leanne is prompt and approachable in her manner and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Her practice rests on a person-centred core that gives space for people to be heard without judgement. She draws from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to tailor sessions to what each person needs. Sessions are conversational and practical, with chances to notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Leanne has five years' experience working in therapeutic settings. Her listed credentials are BACP and NCPS. She offers one-to-one work and also provides clinical supervision for trainee and qualified therapists.

People can expect a calm, steady tone in sessions and straightforward tools to manage symptoms such as anxiety and overthinking. She pays attention to background issues like abandonment, attachment and body image when they come up, and addresses complex situations including chronic illness, caregiving stress and bereavement.

Leanne works with adults and with children and young people as noted in her biography. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients follow the service's matching steps and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapy approaches and getting help online

Leanne uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as part of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help people move through grief, chronic stress and problems that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions involve practical steps, reflection and planning so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit better around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
