About Leo
Leo Puttock is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns and anger, among other difficulties. Leo has worked in the NHS, with local charities and in private practice settings.
He uses a person-centred approach at the core of his work. That means he listens and follows what matters to the client, then uses other skills as needed. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and choose actions based on values.
Leo also uses solution-focused techniques for practical problem solving. He will look at everyday interactions and how people react in relationships to spot patterns that cause stress or conflict. Sessions can include steady, practical steps to reduce snapping or built-up resentment.
He has experience supporting people with identity and sexuality questions and is an ally to the LGBT community. He also works with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, career pressures and ADHD-related concerns. Leo aims to combine listening with concrete strategies so clients can test changes between sessions.
To start, he asks people to get in touch for an initial conversation so you can see if his way of working fits your needs. That first chat is informal and pressure-free, intended to clarify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. Online sessions can focus on identifying what matters and practicing value-led steps between meetings.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple noticing skills for thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. In an online setting those exercises can be guided in-session and then practised during daily life to reduce reactivity and tension.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds on it with short, practical goals. Online work can concentrate on quick experiments clients can try between sessions and then review together.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals, preferences and how they respond in early meetings. That collaborative process aims to match practical methods to the issues you bring.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep progress steady alongside everyday life.
