About Leanne
Leanne Kemp is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people faced with stress, anxiety and parenting pressures. She brings a warm, open manner and aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what is worrying them without feeling judged. Leanne has 13 years of experience working in counselling and mental health mentoring.
She has supported people with depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with those who have experienced trauma or abuse and with people juggling work pressures and caregiving responsibilities.
Background and approach
Her practice includes helping people who are neurodivergent, such as those with autism or ADHD, and she is familiar with the extra challenges that can bring. She also offers support for issues such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger and coping with major life changes.
Leanne is a BACP member, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She aims to treat each person as an individual and to focus on their goals rather than imposing a set path. In sessions she often combines client-centred listening with solution-focused conversations to help people identify small, practical steps forward.
The emphasis is on what the person wants to change and on building clearer ways to manage difficult moments. People who contact her can expect straightforward, respectful care and help working through both short-term problems and longer-term concerns related to parenting, work and wellbeing.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. Sessions concentrate on what the client wants to talk about and on building understanding, empathy and trust to help people feel heard and clearer about their next steps.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical changes and small steps that can make a difference quickly. This style is useful for addressing specific problems like sleep troubles, parenting challenges or work stress by agreeing simple goals and tracking progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and tailor sessions to their needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits their life. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure the focus is useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility. Video helps keep visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well by text and live chat can suit shorter conversations. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments.
