Leanne McCann, BACP, NCPS

Leanne McCann is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and midlife change. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through overthinking, trauma, depression and issues around intimacy or addiction. Leanne works with adults and also supports children and young people. She provides clinical supervision for trainee and qualified therapists as well.

Leanne uses a person-centred core in her work. That means she listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and actions. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values despite difficult feelings.

Her approach blends attachment-focused thinking with skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to manage strong emotions and improve communication. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to clarify problems and identify practical next steps. Sessions typically involve talking, noticing patterns, and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.

Leanne has five years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those letters are presented as supplied and indicate professional registration details as given. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

She encourages people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to reach out. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session. Leanne aims to support clearer thinking, steadier moods, and more reliable coping in everyday life.

Approaches that inform Leanne's online work

Leanne draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas in her practice. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety or low mood, which can help with sleep, compulsive habits and overthinking. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; it can be useful for understanding intimacy, communication problems and long-standing trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can still make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it possible to keep seeing a therapist while living in a different area. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use different approaches online, and Leanne adapts evidence-based techniques to suit each person's situation and practical needs.
