About Leanne
Leanne Banks is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years of professional experience and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
Leanne uses a conversational, client-centred way of working. She helps people speak about difficult feelings and thoughts without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and making small, practical steps that feel doable.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She also uses elements of mindfulness to bring attention into the present moment and Jungian and existential perspectives to explore meaning, values and inner patterns. These methods can be useful for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, dissociation, body image and relationship difficulties.
Leanne has supported people through blended family issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, caregiver stress, eating and food-related problems, and other family problems. She aims to help clients identify patterns that cause pain and to try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
If someone is considering working with Leanne they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Session costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Leanne uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach looks at patterns of connection and trust and can be helpful for relationship worries, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.She also works from a client-centred stance, which means sessions focus on the person's own priorities and experience. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people find their own next steps rather than imposing solutions. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to present-moment thoughts and bodily experience, which can help with anxiety, stress and overthinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please check which session types are offered when arranging appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can be scheduled between other commitments.
