Leanne Coley, BACP

Leanne Coley is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings three years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP credentials, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults facing a range of concerns and focuses on practical, evidence-informed support that aims to strengthen personal resources.

Her work covers stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and the particular challenges faced by men and women. Leanne has experience working within the Criminal Justice System, where she supported victims and witnesses as well as people involved in criminal proceedings.

Leanne approaches therapy from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already has strengths to draw on when making changes. She emphasizes the courage it takes to seek greater wellbeing and offers support and empowerment as clients take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her style is collaborative and respectful, aimed at helping people build resilience and find clearer direction.

Evidence-Informed Techniques for Online Support

Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person’s needs. One common focus is work that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns so that anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem issues can be approached with clearer strategies and practical skills. Another strand of her practice is trauma-informed support that emphasises safety, emotional regulation, and gradual processing of difficult experiences to reduce the ongoing impact of past harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Leanne collaborates with clients to determine what will work best. She listens to individual goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjusts techniques over time so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing contact in ways that suit different daily routines. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt their methods effectively in these formats to help clients make steady progress.
