Leanne GlennonBACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. She aims to get to know each person and the problems they want to work on. Her style blends talking, creative techniques and emotion-focused work to find what helps most.

She uses trauma-focused and trauma-informed ways of working. That can include work based on a three-phase trauma recovery model: safety and stabilisation, remembrance and trauma processing, and reconnection and integration. Leanne says trauma recovery is rarely linear and the work may return to earlier phases as needed.

Leanne has 17 years of experience and has supported people with anxiety, stress and depression. She also has significant experience with sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. She has worked with self-harm and researched therapists' experiences of this topic for her MSc thesis.

Her therapy is collaborative – she describes the process as co-production. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps uncover strengths and practical ways forward. Sessions may draw on TF-CBT and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside emotion-focused and creative methods, adapted to each person's needs.

Leanne works with a wide range of concerns related to parenting, grief, attachment and communication. She also supports people with issues around body image, chronic illness, neurodiversity and diverse sexual cultures. She practices in the United Kingdom and offers work in English to international clients.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Payment is managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How trauma-aware approaches translate to online therapy

Leanne draws on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques and cognitive behavioural methods that help people understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. These approaches break down problems into manageable steps and often use practical exercises between sessions to build coping skills.

She also uses emotion-focused work that helps people name, sit with and understand strong feelings. This can be useful for processing bereavement, attachment difficulties and the emotional impact of abuse. Emotion-focused work aims to help people find new ways to respond to painful emotions rather than suppress them.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time, which can make regular work easier to maintain. Online work can also allow shorter check-in sessions when a quick update helps keep momentum.
