Leanne Kemp, BACP

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-centred approach that puts cada person’s needs first. She creates an open space where people can talk about what is affecting them without fear of judgement. Leanne explains rather than advises and works alongside people to find ways forward that fit their life and values.

She draws on 13 years of experience as a counsellor and mental health mentor in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, grief and traumatic experiences. Leanne also supports people dealing with relationship strain, work stress, parenting pressures and recurring low self-esteem.

Leanne is experienced in supporting people with neurodivergent profiles, including autism and ADHD, and she helps people who live with chronic health conditions or complex co-morbid issues. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiver stress, body image, and cancer-related concerns.

Her practice uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions aim to reflect and understand what matters to each person, while also identifying clear, practical steps to try between meetings. Sessions are conversational and geared to the individual’s pace.

People often come to Leanne for help with sleep problems, anger, coping with life changes, and career direction. She also works with those affected by trauma, domestic abuse and compassion fatigue. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Client-centred and solution-focused support online

Leanne uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person's experience. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters to the client, and follows their pace to build understanding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small practical steps and clear goals. This way of working helps when people want to make tangible changes, manage stress, improve sleep or move forward after a difficult event.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Leanne will work with the person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking to confirm how sessions are held. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical needs, such as using less visual contact for lower bandwidth or planning appointments around work and family commitments.
