About Leann
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience, Leann Laithwaite focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships and related concerns using client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. She presents herself as an integrative counsellor and aims to put people at the centre of therapy while adapting sessions to what each person needs.
Leann trained with a foundation degree in Integrative Counselling and has worked in health and social care since 2016. She also holds a diploma in Health and Social Care and has additional training such as Mental Health First Aid and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). These roles gave her experience with a range of issues and settings.
In practice she combines elements from different approaches. Client-centred work shapes how she listens and responds. Cognitive behavioural ideas help with practical strategies for anxiety, stress and mood. Psychodynamic thinking is used to look at patterns that repeat over time.
She lists a range of concerns she addresses, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and ADHD related worries. Sessions are described as adapted to individual needs, so people can expect discussion of immediate problems alongside exploration of longer-standing patterns.
Leann works in English and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. For details on how she runs sessions and which formats are offered, people should confirm current session options before booking.
To begin she asks people to use the service's matching process and schedule a first session so they can agree aims and practical arrangements together.

How Leann uses core approaches in remote work
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's priorities and how they want to be heard. That approach means sessions begin with listening and working from the issues the person brings, useful for grief, relationship strain and general life stress.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and coping techniques that people can try between sessions, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and anger management.
Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past experiences that affect current reactions. This can help when people want to understand why certain issues repeat over time rather than only managing immediate symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person and agree which methods to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is presented as a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit around work, childcare and travel, and they can allow for shorter check‑ins or sessions without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life, while keeping the focus on practical tools and longer term exploration as required.
