About Leanne
Leanne McCann is an integrative counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship difficulties. She names codependency among her areas of focus and helps people dealing with low self-esteem, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, anger, and life transitions. Leanne works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Her style has a Person-Centred core. That means she listens without judgment and follows the pace the person wants. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live according to their values.
Leanne uses elements of attachment-based work to look at early relationship patterns and how these affect today’s connections. She can also use skills drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy to help regulate emotion and manage intense states. Her mix of approaches is adapted to each person’s situation rather than being the same for everyone.
She has five years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials as provided. She also has experience working with children and young people and provides clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists. The supervision work is separate from her therapeutic practice.

How her approaches translate to online work
Leanne blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that can work well online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which helps with anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape trust and intimacy now, which is useful for relationship and attachment difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to emphasise and how sessions should flow.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, behavioural tasks and homework to suit an online setting so progress can continue between sessions.
