About Lianne
Lianne Flood is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-centred approach to help people facing relationship and parenting worries. She draws on four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, offering straightforward support for common struggles. Lianne tries to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious or unsure.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, alongside relationship and family concerns. She also supports people navigating LGBT matters, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Practical topics such as anger, body image, eating difficulties and career stress are part of her caseload too. Lianne blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. That means sessions can include listening and reflection alongside practical skills and short-term goal work.
The emphasis is on what helps the person right now and on tests that can be tried between sessions. She pays attention to attachment-related problems, abandonment fears and issues tied to family of origin. Other areas Lianne addresses include communication and commitment difficulties, fatherhood questions and complexities around BDSM and alternative sexual cultures.
She also works with people experiencing dissociation or compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and take place online, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Lianne asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.
The aim is to come together on clear goals and practical steps that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment, helping people feel heard and able to consider changes at their own pace. It is useful for those seeking a supportive space to talk through parenting worries, relationship strains or emotional distress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and managing challenging daily routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, realistic steps towards the changes someone wants to see. It works well when there are specific parenting goals, communication problems or short-term issues that need focused action.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Together they set priorities and review what helps as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people talk face to face without travelling, phone sessions can fit a short break, and text-based messaging or live chat supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered professionals.
