Leanne Banks, BACP, NCPS

Leanne Banks offers therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Leanne encourages clients to be heard and understood while they consider change.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Her work focuses on building an open space where people can say what is worrying them without judgment. Leanne aims to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and to try different ways of responding.

Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside elements of existential thinking and mindfulness. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings, listens closely to each person’s experience, and helps people notice their choices in daily life. Sessions often include practical steps to manage anxiety and improve communication.

Leanne also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family difficulties and caregiver stress. She supports people dealing with dissociation, eating concerns, domestic violence and separation. The work can include understanding emotional reactions and creating safer ways to cope.

People meet Leanne to sort out commitment or control problems, to improve body image, or to find steadier ground during life changes. She encourages collaboration about goals and small, realistic steps between sessions.

How Leanne's approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships affect current feelings and close ties. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships and who want to try different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's own pace and priorities; it helps when someone needs a steady space to make sense of feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to clarify goals, try approaches and adjust what happens in sessions based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist discuss what to try next so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, reduce travel time and allow a quieter or shorter check-in on busier days. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and reflective conversation from wherever they are, with the therapist helping to adapt activities to each person’s routine.
