Leanne Coley, BACP

Leanne Coley helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, social anxiety and issues that commonly affect men and women. Leanne presents a calm, respectful presence to make it easier to talk about difficult experiences.

Leanne is credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience. She has worked within the Criminal Justice System supporting victims, witnesses and people involved in criminal proceedings. That background informs her careful, non-judgemental way of listening and responding.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on clear, practical steps as well as understanding past experiences that continue to cause distress. Leanne aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable.

People who choose her work with someone who will support and empower them rather than tell them what to do. Therapy is paced to each person, with attention to safety and what feels doable. The aim is to help people move towards a life that feels more satisfying and less overwhelmed.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online work

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour and on processing difficult experiences. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on understanding and working through the impact of traumatic events, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce its ongoing effects.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals and preferences and then work together to try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so methods can be tailored to what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and removing travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to keep. If session formats are important, confirm the current options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online work useful for steady, ongoing support when it needs to fit around work, family and other commitments.
