About Leanne

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred approach that puts each person's concerns first. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is causing distress. Her style is open and supportive, focused on helping people find practical ways forward in everyday life.

With 13 years' experience as a counsellor and psychologist, Leanne has worked alongside people managing anxiety, depression and grief. She has supported those affected by trauma, abuse and bullying, and people dealing with work-related stress and low self-confidence. Her background includes work as a specialist mental health mentor and a long history of providing one-to-one counselling.

Leanne also has experience supporting people with neurodivergent profiles, including autism and ADHD, and she understands how additional needs can affect daily coping. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her additional areas of focus. Her stated aim is to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is noted in her professional details as BACP.

Sessions emphasise listening, reflection and practical steps the person can try between meetings. Leanne seeks to work collaboratively so people can set goals that feel manageable and relevant to their lives.

How client-centred and solution-focused approaches work online

Leanne uses a client-centred way of working that prioritises the person's own concerns and pace. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting feelings and helping people make sense of what is happening in their lives. It can help when someone needs a trusting space to talk through difficult experiences.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas that concentrate on identifying small, achievable changes. Solution-focused work aims to build on existing strengths and try practical steps that can lead to clearer routines or immediate relief for problems like anxiety, sleep disruption or stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree goals, try methods that feel right, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain relevant to their needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while keeping the focus on practical work and steady progress.
