Lea Kendall , NCPS

Lea Kendall is a UK-based integrative therapist with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and difficult life changes. She offers an approachable, grounded, and collaborative online practice where people can explore what feels stuck and begin practical, meaningful change.

Her work supports clients facing burnout, emotional overwhelm, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, career transitions, and addictive behaviors. Lea combines talking therapy with coaching, mindfulness practices, and creative techniques to help clients reconnect with their inner resources and clarify next steps. She describes her approach as intuitive and trauma-informed, and she adapts methods to each person rather than following a single rigid model.

Lea has a particular interest in supporting women through identity shifts and neurodiverse clients who are seeking greater self-understanding and balance, while also working with men who feel pressured to hold everything together. She values authentic human connection and offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth. Lea holds the NCPS credential, which denotes a recognised professional counselling qualification.

Outside of her therapeutic work she is a nature guide and forest educator and a home-educating parent, perspectives she sometimes weaves into therapy when it fits a client’s goals. Lea is accepting new clients and works with people internationally through online formats.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Lea draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client’s experience at the centre of the work and emphasizes empathetic listening and support for self-directed change. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. CBT offers concrete strategies that are easily adapted to remote sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy is another element Lea weaves into her practice, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and strengthen emotional regulation. These practices can complement talking therapy and are well suited to online instruction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lea works collaboratively with each client and licensed professionals use assessment and ongoing conversation to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques can evolve as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Lea offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and geographical constraints, while preserving continuity of care for people who travel or live abroad.
