Leanne Glennon

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. She meets people where they are and talks through the issues they want to address. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aiming to support people through difficult moments without judgement. With 17 years' experience, Leanne draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioural work and cognitive behavioural therapy. She also uses creative and emotion-focused methods alongside talking therapies when these suit the person in front of her. Her practice is shaped around collaboration so clients help set goals and decide how the work proceeds. Leanne has extensive experience working with trauma, including sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. She uses a three-phase approach to trauma recovery that covers safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration. She explains how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma as a starting point for recovery. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, parenting concerns and issues relating to sexual identity. Additional focus areas include attachment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, eating concerns, chronic pain and comorbidity. She is experienced in work around self-harm and has researched therapists' experiences of that area. Leanne works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Leanne uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Trauma-focused CBT involves working carefully through traumatic memories and developing stabilising skills, which can help people who have experienced specific traumatic events. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and supports practical steps to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on emotion-focused and creative methods to help people access feelings and find different ways of expressing and processing them. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to agree which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking as these are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow gentler check-ins when people prefer shorter contact. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, and Leanne will clarify the practical options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
