Leanne Kemp, BACP

Leanne Kemp works from a client-centred stance, offering a warm and open space where people can talk about what matters to them. She places the person’s needs at the forefront and listens without judgement. Her aim is to help clients notice options and find ways forward at their own pace.

Leanne has 13 years of experience working as a counsellor and mental health mentor in the United Kingdom. She has supported people through depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties and work-related stress. She also has experience with trauma, abuse, and significant events from childhood that continue to affect daily life.

She is experienced in supporting people who identify as neurodivergent, including those with autism and ADHD, and she offers practical, straightforward help for issues such as sleeping problems, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Leanne also works with career concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image worries.

Her approach is pragmatic and collaborative. Sessions focus on what the person brings and practical steps they want to try. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable changes, while the client-centred stance keeps the conversation led by the client’s priorities.

Clients are invited to explore feelings about abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family concerns and parenting stress. Leanne draws on her background supporting people through grief, compassion fatigue and the complexities of long-term health conditions.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translate online

Leanne uses client-centred counselling which means the session follows the person’s concerns and pace; the counsellor asks about what matters most and reflects what they hear. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to spot small, realistic steps that can make a difference quickly, and it suits issues like stress, low mood and coping with change.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Leanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those goals. Together they check what feels useful and adapt the plan as things change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around day-to-day life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a quicker break from work. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who need flexible scheduling.
