Bogdana Leete, BACP

Bogdana Leete offers flexible counselling that fits around existing commitments, providing sessions by telephone and online to make therapy accessible from home or abroad. She approaches each person as an individual, tailoring techniques to a client’s unique circumstances and aiming to support mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. She works in a collaborative, nonjudgemental way and is guided by what matters most to the client, helping people build greater self-understanding and face difficult topics safely.

Bogdana specialises in anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship and family issues, stress, sleeping difficulties and panic attacks. She also supports those coping with self-injury, adaptation after emigration, grief and loss, and offers practical tools for managing overwhelming feelings. In sessions she takes an active role, sharing self-help strategies and techniques tailored to each person’s goals.

In the first session she explores why the client is seeking therapy, what they hope to achieve, and whether the working relationship will be a good fit. If therapy continues, she and the client agree a working contract covering session frequency and fees. Clients are welcome to ask about her experience and qualifications; Bogdana holds the BACP credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults, older adults, trainees and young people and provides online and telephone counselling.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client leads the pace of exploration. The therapist listens to understand and supports the client in building self-awareness and self-acceptance, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, panic and sleep difficulties by teaching tools to manage distress and reframe thinking.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and emotions. It can aid stress management, reduce rumination and support emotional regulation for those struggling with worry or persistent negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Bogdana collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques as the work progresses. Registered professionals and therapists often combine approaches to suit each person.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, for those who travel, or for clients living abroad. These formats make regular sessions more accessible and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life.
