Leanne Kemp

Leanne Kemp is a counsellor who uses a warm, open client-centred approach. She focuses on each person’s needs and helps them find practical ways forward. Her manner is non-judgemental and supportive, aimed at helping people talk through what is impacting their day-to-day life.

Leanne has 13 years of experience working in counselling and mental health mentoring. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship strains, workplace stress and self-confidence challenges. She also has experience helping people affected by trauma and domestic abuse, both physical and emotional.

She has worked with people who are neurodivergent, including those with an autism diagnosis, ADHD and dyspraxia, and is comfortable adapting sessions to individual needs. Leanne also helps with concerns such as sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career issues and chronic health challenges.

Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy combined with solution-focused ideas. That means conversations centre on the client’s priorities, while practical steps and small goals are used to create change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with the pace set by the person attending.

Leanne holds BACP and works in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm space where people can explore what matters most to them and begin to move forward.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online counselling

Leanne works from client-centred therapy and draws on solution-focused ideas. Client-centred therapy puts the person's priorities at the centre of each session and emphasises listening, empathy and acceptance. It can help with emotional distress, grief, relationship problems and self-esteem by allowing people to lead the conversation.

Solution-focused therapy looks at small, practical steps and short-term goals. It helps people identify what is already working, set achievable next steps and build on strengths to manage stress, anxiety, anger or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit them best. Together they shape a plan that fits the person’s needs and pace.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler, quieter option for a session.
