Leanne Alanson, NCPS

Leanne Alanson is a qualified and compassionate counsellor who offers support across a wide range of emotional challenges, with particular expertise in bereavement and loss. She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can explore their feelings at a pace that feels right for them and receives clients from the United Kingdom as well as internationally.

As an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), Leanne combines professional standards with an empathetic approach. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and depression, and offers additional focus on concerns including abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, communication and control issues, end-of-life and hospice related counseling, life purpose, panic disorder, pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety, women’s issues, and challenges faced by young adults.

Leanne tailors her support to each person’s specific needs, adapting pace and focus so sessions address immediate practical concerns as well as longer-term patterns. Whether someone is coping with the raw pain of loss, persistent health worries, or everyday relationship strains, she aims to provide steady, person-centered care that helps clients move forward with clarity and resilience.

Practical Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. One common approach focuses on structured coping skills and short-term strategies that help reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving. Another approach emphasizes emotion processing and grief work, offering a supportive space to explore loss, make meaning, and integrate difficult feelings so they are less overwhelming in daily life. A third strand includes communication and relationship-focused methods that strengthen listening, boundary setting, and conflict resolution to improve connections with others.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process and Leanne approaches this collaboratively. She will work with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adapt methods according to individual needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and mobility needs while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones.
