Leanne Banks, BACP, NCPS

Leanne Banks is a counsellor who supports carers and other people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful feelings and begin to make changes. Leanne presents herself as encouraging and practical, aiming to help clients feel understood and more able to cope.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and difficulties after divorce or separation. Leanne describes helping people affected by domestic violence, eating and body image issues, dissociation, and blended family pressures.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely to each person's story and responding to what they need in the moment. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and mindfulness to help people connect with their feelings and make practical changes to daily life.

Leanne also uses elements of existential and Jungian thought to help people find meaning in difficult experiences and notice repeated patterns that may be holding them back. She encourages small, achievable steps alongside reflection so clients can try new ways of relating and coping.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Leanne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. This helps when worries centre on connection, trust and recurring patterns in relationships. She also uses client-centred work, which means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through emotions and decisions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques feel most helpful for their goals and day-to-day needs. She aims to match methods to what a person hopes to change, whether that is reducing anxiety, improving communication, or managing caregiver stress.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as current formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a work break. It also lets people use a shorter check-in when energy is low or choose less visually demanding options if that helps them focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their way of working to suit these practical needs.
