About Leanne

Leanne McCann offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also helps with struggles around addiction, self-esteem, sleep and eating, and common life changes such as career shifts or parenting strain. Leanne welcomes enquiries from people affected by adoption and foster care issues and from those with concerns about attachment or abandonment.

Leanne brings five years' experience as a counsellor and a background rooted in a person-centred way of working. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials which are noted as part of her practice identity. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change or understand. Leanne listens first, then draws on practical tools so people can manage difficult feelings between sessions.

She works in an integrative way, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred principles. This mix helps with managing thoughts, building emotional skills and improving close relationships.

Leanne also supports trainee and qualified therapists through clinical supervision. People who want to begin work with her are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Fees vary with location and therapist availability and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session arrangements and formats before booking so you know what to expect.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Leanne uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core strands in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small practical experiments to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and closeness, helping people make different choices in relationships and manage attachment or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what methods to try based on a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with simple CBT skills, then using attachment-focused conversations to deepen understanding, or combining techniques from different approaches as needed.

Session arrangements are not detailed in the original profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access possible for people who are abroad or living some distance from a UK-based counsellor.
