Leanne Kemp , BACP

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, open therapeutic presence and creates a space where people can explore what is affecting their lives without fear of judgment. She works from a client-centred standpoint, placing each person’s unique needs, values, and goals at the heart of the counselling process rather than prescribing solutions. With 13 years of experience as a counselling psychotherapist and specialist mental health mentor, she has supported people through a wide range of personal, professional, spiritual, and mental health challenges.

Her practice addresses common concerns such as depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, significant childhood events including trauma and abuse, bullying, parenting challenges, work-related stress, and low self-confidence. She has particular experience supporting people who have experienced domestic abuse, both physical and emotional, and works with neurodivergent clients, including those with an autism diagnosis, ADHD, and dyspraxia. Leanne also works with issues such as grief, sleep disruption, career pressures, and caregiver stress.

Leanne is an accredited member of the BACP, demonstrating a commitment to ethical, professional practice. She aims to walk alongside people as they explore change and healing, offering practical support and compassionate guidance as clients find ways forward in their lives.

Client-centred and solution-focused approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, active listening, and respect for the person’s own experience. It focuses on creating a supportive environment in which clients can explore feelings, values, and choices at their own pace, and it is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and strengths that can move a person toward their goals. It highlights small, achievable changes and works well for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, and goal-oriented concerns like career or parenting challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Leanne Kemp works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and can increase access for those with mobility or scheduling constraints. These options offer flexibility in how and when sessions happen, allowing clients to choose the format that supports their comfort and consistency in engaging with therapy.
