Leanne Kemp, BACP

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, open therapeutic presence and creates a non-judgmental space where people can explore what is affecting them. She practices in a client-centered way, placing each person’s unique needs and priorities at the heart of the work rather than directing or advising them on specific choices. Over 13 years of practice as a counselling psychotherapist and psychologist have given her experience supporting people through personal, professional, spiritual, and mental health challenges.

She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Leanne also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and has substantial experience working with those who have experienced domestic abuse. Her work includes helping people process significant childhood events such as bullying, abuse, or attachment difficulties.

Leanne is experienced in supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with an autistic diagnosis, ADHD, or dyspraxia, and she is comfortable working with additional and complex needs. She holds BACP, a professional membership for counsellors, which reflects her commitment to ethical and professional practice. Leanne aims to work collaboratively with clients to find a way forward and to support therapeutic change and healing through counselling.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online

Leanne uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening deeply, reflecting what matters to the client, and supporting personal insight and self-directed change - it suits people seeking understanding and long-term growth. She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on practical steps and achievable goals; this method is helpful for those who want to identify strengths and quick, concrete ways to move past current difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Leanne works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan over time to suit progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a registered professional without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
