Leanne Kemp, BACP

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, open therapeutic presence that invites people to explore what is affecting their lives without fear of judgement. She practices in a client-centered way, placing each person's unique needs and priorities at the heart of the work and supporting clients to find their own path forward.

With 13 years of experience as a counselling psychotherapist and psychologist, she has worked across a wide range of personal, professional and emotional challenges. Her practice includes support for anxiety and depression, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, work-related stress, low self-esteem and parenting concerns. She also has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autism diagnoses, ADHD and dyspraxia, and attends to issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and blended family dynamics.

Leanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which indicates adherence to recognised professional and ethical standards in counselling practice. She brings a compassionate, nonjudgemental approach and aims to work collaboratively so clients can develop practical coping strategies, greater self-understanding and a clearer sense of direction in their lives.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Care

Leanne combines client-centered therapy with solution-focused techniques to make online counselling practical and personal. Client-centered therapy means she listens with empathy and follows the client's lead, helping people explore feelings, values and priorities so they can build self-understanding and stronger coping skills; this approach is well suited to issues like grief, self-esteem and complex emotional needs. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, life transitions and practical problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Leanne works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so the work stays relevant to the client's needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging according to what suits their schedule and communication style. These options make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family or mobility needs, and support consistent engagement so progress can continue even when life is busy or circumstances change.
