About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan offers calm, practical support for people facing parenting pressures and related life stresses. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused, helping clients sort out immediate problems and make small, useful changes. Leanne writes in plain language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives.
She uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change thinking patterns that make stress or low mood worse.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to improve how people relate to others. Leanne has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a steady, client-centred style that puts the person’s perspective first.
Sessions involve listening, gentle challenge, and practical strategies to try between meetings. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with career changes, coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
Leanne works with people who are navigating family pressures and parenting challenges, including blended family and fatherhood issues. Her approach focuses on building insight and skills that fit into everyday routines. She encourages small steps and keeps plans realistic so change feels possible.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting pressures where thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and then trying practical alternatives. It is helpful for sleep problems, stress, anxiety and low mood, and for breaking unhelpful routines linked to addiction or anger.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early and current relationships affect how someone connects with others. This helps people understand relationship or intimacy difficulties and make different choices about closeness and boundaries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and adapt methods to what feels most useful. That collaborative decision-making helps build a plan that fits each person’s life.
Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into busy parenting schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to continue work between meetings and stay connected during life changes.
