Leanne Coley, BACP

Leanne Coley is a United Kingdom-based therapist with three years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, motivation challenges, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues such as divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, men's and women's issues, social anxiety and phobia, and cultivating self-love.

Leanne has experience working within the Criminal Justice System, providing support to victims and witnesses and to those involved in criminal proceedings. That background informs a practical and empathetic approach to complex and sensitive situations. She works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and has resources that can be used to navigate current challenges.

Recognizing the courage required to seek change, Leanne focuses on supporting and empowering clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Her BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects the professional standards she follows in practice.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill-building to help manage stress, anxiety and low mood. This work often involves learning coping strategies, developing emotion regulation skills, and practicing techniques that help reduce day-to-day distress and build resilience.

She also offers trauma-aware supportive work for people affected by trauma and abuse or by experiences within the Criminal Justice System. This style of work emphasizes safety, pacing, and empowerment while helping people process difficult experiences and regain a sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leanne will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and together they will shape the therapeutic plan so it fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access care from home, at work, or on the move. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of support when in-person meetings are difficult, and enable clients to work with licensed professionals and therapists in a way that suits their life and commitments.
