Leanne McCann, BACP, NCPS

Leanne McCann is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addiction. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. Leanne uses a warm, non-judgemental style so people can say difficult things and be heard without rush. Her approach is integrative with a person-centred core. That means conversations begin with the person in front of her and then draw on practical techniques from several methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help manage difficult thoughts and to build skills for day-to-day life. Leanne also uses Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when relationships, emotional regulation or patterns from the past are important to the work. She pays attention to how early connections and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on small, usable steps rather than abstract theory. She has five years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are shown as provided credentials. Leanne accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary depending on location and a subscription system is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and big life changes because it emphasises practical steps rather than fighting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. It works well for anxiety, depression and problems like overthinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, discuss what might help, and agree on a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as the work progresses and as goals become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are offered before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy around work and family life, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods or while travelling. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt materials and exercises for use in remote sessions so progress can continue between appointments.
