About Leny
Leny Kuriakose is a counsellor (BACP) with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Leny uses an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods to suit each person's situation.
Leny describes counselling as a step-by-step process of making sense of difficult situations and patterns. She works alongside people to identify what is happening and to find practical ways forward. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental so people can speak openly about what matters to them.
Her integrative practice means she selects techniques from several approaches rather than using a single method. That flexibility allows sessions to match the issue at hand, whether the focus is on panic, obsessive thoughts, or recovery after abuse. She has worked with organisations on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery and brings that experience into individual sessions.
Leny pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to complex problems such as codependency, domestic violence, and guilt or shame. She also works with people who have panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress.
Leny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and follows their ethical standards. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.

Approaches used in online counselling and what to expect
Leny works integratively, so online sessions typically draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques selected for the issue at hand. One common approach is trauma-focused work, which uses structured conversation and coping strategies to process past harmful events and reduce their ongoing impact. This can help with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault recovery and other trauma reactions.Another frequent approach is anxiety-focused cognitive and behavioural techniques that look at thought patterns, avoidance and practical coping skills. These techniques help with panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, social anxiety and generalised worry by teaching breathing, exposure steps and thinking tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That shared decision making means the method can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of remote sessions should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Please check which session formats are available when you book. Remote counselling can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and fit sessions into a working day or family routine, while still allowing the therapist and client to focus on clear goals and skills practice.
