About Leanne
BACP, NCPS. Three years' professional experience. Leanne Banks works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred, existential, Jungian and mindfulness approaches to structure sessions.
Leanne uses a client-centred stance that focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. She offers space to talk through difficult feelings and to make sense of relationship patterns. There is attention to how early attachment experiences shape present-day reactions and bonds with others.
She also draws on existential ideas to help people look at meaning, choice and responsibility during times of change. Jungian concepts are used at times to work with personal symbols and deeper themes that show up in dreams or creative material. Mindfulness practices are included to help people manage stress and build more steadiness in daily life.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. Leanne aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice calmer approaches to stressful moments. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and separation after divorce.
Leanne is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. The profile notes a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform’s matching process to arrange an initial appointment.
Approaches in remote counselling and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current bonds and reactions. It can help when trust, rejecting or clingy behaviour and communication problems repeat across relationships.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room. The counsellor listens without directing outcomes and supports the person to clarify feelings and make choices that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be discussed together. The counsellor will explore the person's goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest ways of working that suit those priorities.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make appointments easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce bandwidth or screen time if that helps someone engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques from these approaches so they work well at a distance.
