Bogdana Leete

Bogdana Leete is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger and relationship strains. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleeping problems and trauma. Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian and she provides online and telephone counselling to fit around everyday commitments.

She believes there is no single way that fits everyone. Bogdana tailors her approach to the person in front of her and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She listens without judgement and aims to build understanding so clients can make changes that matter to them.

In sessions she may teach coping skills for panic and strong emotions, help people reconnect with family or friends, and support ways to improve sleep and daily routines. She also works with self-harm and overwhelming sadness, helping people find alternatives to manage distress and recover a sense of hope.

Bogdana takes an active role in therapy by sharing self-help tools and techniques that match each person’s goals. The first session is a chance to talk about what brings someone to counselling and decide together whether to continue and how often to meet.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated BACP. Bogdana has six years of clinical experience and offers a collaborative, person-focused way of working.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences, with the counsellor following what matters most to the client and offering a non-judgemental space to talk. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship issues and making sense of strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for insomnia, panic attacks and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy continues and practical tools can be combined from different approaches.

Bogdana offers counselling online and by telephone, so sessions can fit around work, family and travel. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit regular work into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can focus on the conversation and practical steps between meetings.
