Leanne Glennon, BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship. She values getting to know each person and the issues they want to work on before deciding how to proceed. Her style is collaborative and aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.

She brings 17 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, stress and grief. She also works with trauma and abuse, including sexual abuse and complex bereavement, and with domestic abuse. Her practice includes work with parenting concerns and people who identify as LGBT, alongside a wide range of related difficulties such as attachment problems, communication struggles and caregiver stress.

Leanne uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She mentions trauma-focused cognitive behavioural methods and TF-CBT alongside talking therapies, emotion-focused work and creative techniques. Sessions are done at relational depth and aim to be co-produced, so the person and counsellor decide together what helps most.

When working with trauma she uses a three-phase approach: safety and stabilisation, remembrance and processing, and reconnection and integration. She explains how the brain and nervous system respond to traumatic events and returns to phases as needed rather than forcing a linear path.

Her background includes academic study of self-harm through an MSc thesis and long clinical experience. She describes clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to support them without judgement. Leanne offers help that is practical, steady and focused on building strengths.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Leanne uses evidence-based methods that help people understand feelings and reactions. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) combines practical skills with gentle processing of distressing memories, which can be useful for people who have experienced specific traumatic events. Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teach straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can change as therapy goes on and will be guided by what feels most helpful in sessions.

The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people use creative exercises or worksheets during a session and can help maintain continuity of care when travel or work gets in the way of in-person meetings.
