About Leanne

Leanne Glennon works with stress, anxiety, trauma and bereavement, parenting concerns and LGBT issues, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a relational style. She is BACP registered and has 17 years of clinical experience.

Leanne focuses on building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship and getting to know the specific problems someone wants to address. She uses elements of trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), alongside emotion-focused and creative talking approaches. Sessions aim to combine practical skills and personal reflection so people can see what helps them day to day.

She offers both trauma informed and trauma focussed work. Trauma-focussed work is used with people who have experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events, including sexual abuse, domestic abuse and complex bereavement. Leanne describes trauma recovery in phases - stabilisation, processing and reconnection - and works flexibly between these stages as needed.

Leanne has significant experience in supporting people who self-harm and researched therapists' experiences of self-harm in her MSc thesis. She also supports people dealing with attachment and adoption issues, neurodiversity such as autism, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Her practice aims to be collaborative: she works with each person to identify goals and practical steps. Sessions cover skill-building, understanding patterns of behaviour and responses, and finding ways to manage difficult memories and strong emotions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Leanne commonly uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioural approaches and more general CBT techniques. TF-CBT involves gradual work on traumatic memories alongside skills for stabilisation, which can help people who have experienced specific traumatic events. CBT focuses on recognising unhelpful thoughts and learning practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.

She also draws on emotion-focused and creative talking techniques to help access feelings and explore patterns in relationships and behaviour. These methods aim to increase understanding of emotional responses and to practise ways of responding differently in day-to-day life. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan with each person based on their needs and preferences.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote counselling makes it easier to fit sessions around work and caring responsibilities, reduces travel time and allows quieter, uninterrupted time for reflection. The counsellor will help identify the best approach and practical arrangements that fit a client's life and goals.
