Lianne Flood

Lianne Flood is a counsellor who focuses on creating a straightforward, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them. She draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. That approach aims to help people feel heard and understood before they try different ways of coping or making change. Cognitive behavioural techniques are also part of her toolkit, useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term ways to move forward and build small, practical changes. Lianne supports people through relationship strain, family issues, stress, grief and matters connected to identity, including LGBT concerns. She also helps with intimacy-related worries, body image, eating and parenting challenges. Her practice includes work around trauma and abuse, dissociation, anger, attachment and abandonment issues. Divorce and separation is one of the topics she lists among her focus areas and she can help clients process the emotions and practical adjustments that follow those changes. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book sessions according to therapist availability. Lianne aims to be direct, calm and supportive while helping people find workable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor offers attentive listening and reflects what you say back in plain language, helping you make sense of feelings and priorities. This approach is helpful for people processing grief, identity questions and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, achievable changes and build on what already works. It suits people who want shorter-term, goal-oriented conversations about next steps.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue work between appointments when circumstances change.
