Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who draws on 17 years of practice to help people facing anxiety, stress and grief. She places the relationship with each client at the centre of the work and focuses on what the person wants to change. Leanne writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person’s story before planning next steps.

Her approach brings together trauma-focused work, trauma-informed care and talking therapies. She uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside creative and emotion-focused techniques when they suit a person’s goals. Therapy is practical and relational, with the aim of helping people notice patterns and find ways to feel steadier.

Leanne has significant experience supporting people affected by sexual abuse, domestic abuse and complex bereavement. She often uses a three-phase model of trauma recovery emphasising safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration. She also works with self-harm and has written a master’s thesis on therapists’ experiences in that area.

She treats the person as the expert in their life and works alongside them to build on strengths and make changes. Sessions can involve talking, practical coping skills and creative techniques tailored to each person. Leanne aims to offer steady support through the tougher parts of therapy and to help people move towards a more contented life.

Leanne sees clients in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How trauma-focused techniques work online

Leanne uses evidence-based methods such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, explained simply to help people manage symptoms and make sense of difficult memories. TF-CBT focuses on stabilisation, processing of traumatic memories and rebuilding daily life, and can be helpful for people who have experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical coping skills for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what is most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt techniques as therapy progresses. This shared decision-making means methods can change as new challenges or goals arise.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also enables continuity for people who live in different places from the therapist. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can adapt exercises and creative techniques to work well in remote sessions.
