Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of her work. She starts by getting to know each person and the issues they want to address. Sessions are collaborative and intended to help clients make sense of their experiences and find practical ways forward.

Leanne uses a blend of talking therapies alongside evidence-based techniques such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural approaches and TF-CBT. She describes her style as relational, working at depth while staying focused on usefulness. Creative methods and emotion-focused work can be introduced when they suit a persons needs.

She offers trauma-informed and trauma-focused work for people affected by specific traumatic events. Her trauma practice follows a three-phase model of recovery - safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration - and she explains how these phases may repeat as healing unfolds.

Leanne has particular experience supporting people after sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. She also has experience with self-harm and completed an MSc thesis on therapists experiences supporting people who self-harm. Additional focus areas include stress, anxiety, grief, parenting and a range of relationship and identity concerns.

Clients can expect a direct but respectful style that aims to build insight and practical coping strategies. Leanne works with each person to identify strengths and next steps, and to keep the pace suited to their situation.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Leanne uses a mixture of evidence-based approaches and relational work. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural work (TF-CBT) combines practical skills with structured processing of distressing memories; it can help people who have experienced specific traumatic events and need a clear framework to reduce intrusive memories. Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) focus on identifying thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood and building small experiments to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques, and then shape a way of working together that fits your needs. This collaborative process means methods can change as the work develops.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may suit someone who prefers not to be on camera, while video can help maintain face-to-face connection when that matters. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and tools to suit remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
