Step 3
How her approaches shape online therapy
Leanne draws on client-centred work, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centred work puts the person and their priorities at the centre of conversations, helping them feel heard and understood. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and communication challenges. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change mood and behaviour.Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and then shape sessions together. That collaborative planning helps make sure the approach fits the issue and the individual's way of working.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and cognitive worksheets between meetings, so therapy tools can be practised in everyday routines.
