Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP registered therapist who works with a broad range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression and trauma. She places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, taking time to understand each person and the concerns they wish to address. Drawing on formal training and clinical experience, she integrates trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused methods, creative techniques and talking therapies, adapting these within a relational framework so that interventions feel most helpful to each individual.

Her practice includes both trauma informed and trauma focused work. Trauma-focused interventions are offered for people who have experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events, and Leanne has particular experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse, complex traumatic bereavement and domestic abuse. She often works within the three-phase model of trauma recovery described by Judith Herman - safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration - and recognises that recovery is frequently non-linear, with clients revisiting phases as needed.

Leanne has also worked extensively with self-harm and explored therapists’ experiences of this area in an MSc thesis. She believes the client is the expert in their life story and adopts a co-productive approach that values strengths, reduces judgement and supports people to develop insight and workable solutions. She aims to offer compassionate, empowering support through the challenges of therapy.
