Leanne Banks , BACP, NCPS

Leanne Banks is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience. She is currently not taking on new clients - if additional support is required she asks that people contact her via her website.

Leanne works with adults facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She helps clients explore the patterns and feelings that contribute to ongoing distress and supports people as they work toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, and more manageable responses to life changes.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be voiced and examined. Leanne emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify practical steps and build resilience while attending to underlying emotional needs. Seeking change takes courage, and she frames her role as supporting and encouraging each person through that process.

Leanne holds BACP and NCPS credentials - indicating recognized professional training and alignment with UK counselling standards. Those credentials reflect her formal background and commitment to ongoing professional development.

Therapeutic approaches in an online setting

Leanne integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside mindfulness-informed practices to help clients address relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and responses to stress, making it useful for issues like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and pace, offering empathetic understanding and support that helps people explore choices, values, and personal goals. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and increase clarity when coping with anxiety, stress, or trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Leanne works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This shared process helps shape a tailored plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support without traveling. These formats support flexibility in scheduling, allow work around commitments such as family or work, and enable people to engage in therapy from their own environment while working with licensed professionals and therapists to meet their goals.
