About Leanne
Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, family issues and LGBTQ concerns. She also helps people struggling with guilt and shame related to relationships, identity or past events.
Leanne builds the work around the therapeutic relationship. She aims to get to know a person's story and what they want to change. She uses a mix of talking therapies, cognitive behavioural tools and trauma-focused techniques alongside creative methods to suit the client.
Her trauma practice includes both trauma-informed and trauma-focused work. Leanne often uses the three-phase model of trauma recovery - safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration - and explains how nervous system responses are part of the process. She has experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse, domestic abuse and complex bereavement.
Leanne also has experience with self-harm and wrote her MSc thesis on therapists' experiences of working with self-harm. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort, where the client is treated as the expert on their life and the counsellor brings skills and options to try.
Sessions aim to help people gain insight and practical steps for change. She encourages co-produced work that looks at patterns, strengths and solutions while recognising therapy can feel difficult at times.
Evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Leanne combines cognitive behavioural approaches and trauma-focused work in a practical way. Cognitive behavioural work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and it can help with anxiety, stress and difficult patterns. Trauma-focused work follows the three-phase model of safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection; it helps people who have experienced specific traumatic events to make sense of those memories and their effects.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they land, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
If you prefer online sessions, check which formats are offered before booking. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options when you match. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins by phone if needed, reduce travel time and let people use video when they want face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and creative techniques to work well through remote sessions.
