Leonard Blake

Leonard Blake is a counsellor who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, addictions and a wide range of life difficulties. He works with issues like depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns and ADHD. He practises in the United Kingdom and sees clients in English.

He has five years of experience in private practice and has worked with people referred from national agencies as well as private clients. His background includes an existential starting point combined with a counsellor and psychoanalytic approach. Leonard uses this mix to help people recognise how they view their world and what keeps them stuck.

In sessions he aims to map the patterns that feed anger and other reactive behaviour. He uses talking, reflection and practical suggestions to help shift those patterns. Clients can expect a calm, exploratory style where their experience is taken seriously.

Leonard draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s needs. He blends client-centred ways of building understanding with cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking, and emotion-focused methods to work with intense feelings. He works with the practical side of everyday life as well as deeper personal themes.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. If someone wants to begin, they follow the platform steps to match and schedule a session. Fees vary with location and the service’s subscription model can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns that form in early relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions. It helps people understand why they respond strongly in relationships and supports learning new ways to connect and calm down.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s experience and aims to build a trusting, non-directive space. It helps people feel heard and understood, which can reduce defensiveness and make it easier to try new coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access support if you live some distance from local services. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can explain practical arrangements and help decide whether online sessions suit your situation.
