About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with motivation, self‑esteem and confidence. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, grief, anger and challenges related to ADHD and career changes.
Leanne treats guilt and shame as part of the issues people bring, and she listens for how those feelings affect daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. She aims to help clients notice what matters to them and then take small, manageable steps toward those values.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural methods and client‑centred practice. That means conversations often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, exploring personal values, and trying out different behaviours between sessions. Leanne also uses attachment‑based ideas to look at patterns that come from early relationships.
In sessions she uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons to change. Treatment plans are shaped from session to session, based on what the person says is working and what feels realistic. She keeps language plain and focuses on concrete tools rather than theory.
Leanne works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How Leanne’s approaches are used in online work
Leanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values, which can be useful for guilt, shame and low motivation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical changes to behaviour and routine, which often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to make changes. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what the person wants and can realistically do between sessions.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote therapy helps fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can make it easier to do brief check‑ins or to join from a quieter room. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions to keep them practical and manageable.
