About us
The service was set up by Leana Hughes in 2017, presenting as Headscape Counselling and Therapy Services. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength. The client base has grown along with the range of therapeutic services and approaches offered. New therapy room premises were acquired in 2019. Located in Chester City centre in a quiet, aesthetically pleasing location, they offer exceptional privacy and anonymity to clients as well as excellent access to the city.
The aim of the service offered is to provide people with a safe space for counselling and therapeutic support - all people, whoever they may be and, whatever they might be feeling and thinking. Clients come from all walks of life - men, women, the LGBTQ+ community – people from all different backgrounds and situations.
Leana’s personal passion is working with anxiety and abuse. Her counselling experience in the NHS and with a university enables her to work with a wide range of issues. She also offers pre-operative reports for elective plastic surgery. She enjoys working with students training for counselling qualifications and has achieved a great deal in that area.
Annie joined in 2022 and is a fully qualified Counsellor with a Master's degree in Clinical Counselling and a Bachelor's degree in
Sociology. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Annie adheres
to their ethical framework and engages in regular CPD which informs and supports her dynamic practice.
She has worked with adult clients through community interest projects, as well as NHS referrals in GP practices.
Most recently, Annie has been supporting public sector key workers post Covid-19 lockdowns.
The foundation of Annie’s practice is based on the Person-Centered Approach. She is warm and open and will
work interactively with her clients to unpack their situation, explore their emotions, and find strategies that work
for them.
Annie is particularly interested in supporting those who find themselves looking for counselling due to trauma and
grief. She is passionate about supporting good mental health, positive well-being, and facilitating personal growth
through empowering people to trust in, and be led by, themselves.
Annie has a young family and values how important it is to take time to look after yourself amongst the pressures
and stresses of everyday life.

Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
