Leanne Coley

Leanne Coley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing separation and divorce, as well as those dealing with guilt, loneliness, social anxiety, and issues that affect men and women differently. Leanne works from the belief that each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on.

She draws on three years of professional experience in the UK, including work within the Criminal Justice System supporting victims, witnesses and others involved in criminal proceedings. That background means she is familiar with difficult legal and emotional contexts and how these can affect everyday life.

In sessions Leanne aims to listen closely and help clients identify practical steps they can try. Conversations focus on small, achievable changes and on noticing strengths people already have. She offers a calm, encouraging presence while people look at painful or confusing experiences.

Leanne encourages people to set the pace for their work. She supports exploration of feelings, patterns in relationships, and coping strategies for stress and low mood. The goal is clearer thinking, more helpful routines and stronger self-belief.

If you are thinking about starting therapy she asks you to consider what you want to change and what would feel different. That helps make the first sessions focused and useful.

Evidence-based approaches and online working

Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is structured talking therapy that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to stress and low mood. This method is useful for anxiety, depression and for managing the practical strain of separation.

She also uses trauma-informed ways of working, which involve moving at a safe pace and paying attention to how past events affect current feelings and relationships. This approach is aimed at people who have experienced abuse or distressing events and need steady support to process them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which tools to try based on your goals, needs and what feels most workable for you. That choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family routines and avoiding travel time. If you are considering online work, please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. The aim is to make therapy easier to attend and to support steady progress in everyday life.
