Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor with 17 years' experience. She focuses on building a strong, respectful relationship and getting to know the specific issues a person wants to work on.

She uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques. Leanne draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and trauma-focused methods alongside creative exercises. Sessions aim to be collaborative so people can find what helps them most.

Leanne has particular experience supporting people after sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. She also works with anxiety, stress, parenting concerns, grief and issues related to LGBT identity. Her background includes work with self-harm and she researched therapists' experiences of self-harm for her MSc thesis.

When working with trauma she often follows a three-phase recovery approach - safety and stabilisation, remembrance and trauma processing, and reconnection and integration. Leanne explains how the nervous system responds to distress and helps people move through the phases at their own pace.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on helping people understand their strengths and develop practical steps to manage day-to-day difficulties. Leanne describes therapy as a joint process where insight and small changes add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Leanne uses several evidence-based techniques that people often find useful. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and then try small practical changes to shift patterns. Trauma-focused work follows a phased model - stabilisation, remembrance and processing, then reconnection - which helps people move through traumatic memories at a pace that suits them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods so the therapy feels helpful. She treats the process as collaborative, so decisions about techniques are taken together rather than imposed.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also make some practical tools and worksheets easier to share during sessions. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with trauma experience, can use online work to support steady progress while matching pace and methods to each person's needs.
