Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who focuses on trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapies. She values the relationship with each person and spends time getting to know what matters most to them. Her style is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She blends Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when useful, alongside emotion-focused and creative techniques. Sessions aim to be relational and paced to each person’s needs. Leanne explains how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma and uses that as a starting point for recovery.

Leanne has 17 years' experience working with complex bereavement, sexual abuse and domestic abuse. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. Her experience includes work with self-harm and research into therapists' experiences of this area.

Trauma work is guided by a three-phase model of recovery: safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection. She makes space for returning to earlier phases when needed and avoids pushing people through stages too fast. The emphasis is on slow, steady progress and building coping skills.

Leanne sees each person as the expert in their own life story and works alongside them to unlock strengths. She aims to offer non-judgemental support and practical tools so people can regain confidence and lead a more contented life.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy

Leanne integrates Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and standard Cognitive Behavioural Therapy into her work. TF-CBT focuses on helping people process specific traumatic events and their emotional impact, while CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and stress. She also uses emotion-focused and creative techniques to help people access feelings and find new ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up in everyday life. Together they choose or adapt approaches so the work fits the person’s needs and pace, and they check in as therapy progresses to make changes if needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments and to use shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to match timing and practical needs.
