Leanne Banks

Leanne Banks is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Leanne focuses on helping clients talk through what feels overwhelming and find practical next steps.

Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside existential and Jungian perspectives. That means conversations look at how past relationships and personal meanings shape current struggles. She also uses mindfulness methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions in the moment.

In practice Leanne aims to create a direct, honest space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She works with clients to identify patterns in relationships and behaviour, and to consider realistic ways to change them. Sessions often involve exploring personal stories and trying small, concrete experiments between meetings.

Her work suits someone who feels stuck after a change, who is questioning what matters next, or who is carrying stress from relationships and family roles. Leanne explains ideas plainly and uses examples to make concepts useful in everyday life.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online work

Leanne draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when problems repeat across different relationships and someone wants to understand those repeating dynamics. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person’s own perspective and priorities, helping people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will help clients and counsellors decide what fits best by discussing needs, goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may involve trying different ways of working until a good match is found.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and reflective conversation from their usual surroundings, which can help with applying new ways of coping into everyday life.
