About Leanne
Leanne McCann is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and grief. Her practice also covers depression, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy concerns and parenting strain.
Leanne uses a person-centred foundation while bringing in practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She favours clear, short-term tools alongside deeper exploration when needed. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps they can try between meetings.
Her style stays straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps clients test new responses. That might mean noticing physical signs of rising anger, trying grounding steps, or experimenting with different ways to speak up at work or at home.
Leanne also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that shape how people handle conflict and closeness. For someone with long-standing hurt or abandonment worries, she works to understand how past relationships influence present reactions. For people facing grief, illness or caregiving stress, practical coping strategies are combined with talk work.
Sessions are conducted in English and Leanne accepts international clients. She offers clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists in addition to therapeutic work. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Online approaches and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when frustration or anger keeps getting in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce reactive responses and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, and it can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Some clients prefer sessions that do not require video, while others want a fuller face-to-face style; these practical choices are discussed when arranging the first meeting.
