About Leanne
Leanne Alanson is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression, and she has a particular interest in life purpose concerns.
Leanne offers straightforward, conversational support for strong emotions after loss or major life changes. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and makes space for those feelings to be talked through. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that feel manageable.
Her background includes work with bereavement and end-of-life issues, and she also supports people with panic attacks, social anxiety, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and challenges around communication and control. She is familiar with themes that arise for young adults and women navigating transitions.
Leanne recognises how abandonment, blended family arrangements and autism or Asperger Syndrome can shape relationships and day-to-day stress. She discusses these factors openly and helps people consider realistic adjustments and ways to communicate needs more clearly.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on identifying options and small experiments to try between sessions. She encourages regular review of progress so people can see what helps and what needs to change. Practical planning and steady conversation are tools she uses to support clearer next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical work. One common approach she draws on is talking therapies that focus on current thoughts and feelings; these help with anxiety, panic attacks and low mood by identifying patterns and testing new behaviours. She also uses grief-focused methods that encourage paced processing of loss and practical planning for the changes that follow bereavement. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to decide which techniques fit best, based on the person’s goals, life situation and what feels doable in weekly sessions. That collaborative planning includes checking what helps between meetings and adjusting methods over time. Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed, use voice-only contact if bandwidth is limited, or maintain continuity after a move.
