About me
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, My name is Leanna and I am Integrative Relational Therapist
I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, anger issues, work related stress, family issues, or a sense of feeling stuck.
I became a relational therapist because I believe healing happens in relationship. In the space between you and someone who can hold your story with care.
Therapy is not just about insight. It’s about repair. Re-learning that you can be seen, heard, accepted as you are, and not abandoned. That your emotions have space. That you have space.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be held in that kind of space you’re not alone I will work with you to explore the root cause of your issues and to help you to develop self awareness and tools to help you cope with life’s challenges. Together we will work to understand your experiences, thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I welcome you as you are. I believe that lasting change happens not just through techniques, but through meaningful, authentic human connection.
Please feel free to reach out for further information and to arrange a free 15 min introductory telephone call.
Warm regards
Leanna

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Couples therapy
If you're here, you might be feeling stuck in patterns that are tough to break, or maybe you're just not feeling as close as you once were. You’re not alone and it’s okay to ask for support.
I help couples slow things down, really listen to each other, and work through the tough stuff with kindness and honesty. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing conflict, rebuilding after a breach of trust, or just want to strengthen your bond, I’m here to work alongside you both.
What Working Together Looks Like:
In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, non-judgmental space where both of you can feel heard and supported. I do not take sides. I help both of you understand what is really going on underneath the surface and how to move forward together with more clarity, care, and connection.
About My Practice
I offer a relaxed, supportive space where both partners can talk openly. Both partners have an equal space to feel seen and heard.
I draw on an integrative approach that combines the insights of Imago Relationship Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This means we work both emotionally and practicallyexploring how past experiences shape current relationship dynamics, while developing new ways to connect, communicate, and support each other.

Your First Counselling Session – What to Expect
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and it is not uncommon to feel a little anxious or unsure.
It is my priority to create a warm, calm, and welcoming space so that you can begin to feel at ease and begin your journey.
The initial session is an opportunity for the both of us to get to know each other. It is your opportunity to share a little about yourself and what has brought you to counselling at your own pace. There is no pressure to share more than you may feel comfortable to in our first session.
We will also discuss some practical details, like confidentiality, time of session, cancellation process and I will share more with you about how I work.
I welcome you to ask me any questions that you may have, and together we will confirm if it feels like a good fit for the both of us to work together.
