Leanne BanksBACP, NCPS

Leanne Banks is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and the impact of trauma. She makes space for honest conversation and helps people name what feels difficult. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, so clients can take small steps forward at their own pace.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and helping people explore how past patterns affect current relationships and feelings. That may include looking at attachment styles, personal values, or recurring habits that keep problems in place.

Leanne combines several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape expectations. She uses client-centred methods to keep conversations rooted in the person’s own priorities. Mindfulness practices can be offered to help with stress and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming.

People who come to Leanne often want practical ways to manage anxiety, repair communication, or make sense of past hurt. She helps clients set manageable goals and try out new ways of relating. Sessions aim to be straightforward, compassionate and focused on real-life change.

If someone is unsure how therapy might help, Leanne encourages a short conversation to explain the process and discuss next steps. The first meeting is used to agree priorities and plan how to move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and expectations. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Client-centred therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of the work and uses a non-judgemental, listening stance to help people decide what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and everyday constraints, and together they will choose which methods to use. This collaborative planning helps shape practical steps that fit the person's life and values.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from their own surroundings or who need to manage energy and childcare demands while attending therapy.
