Leanne Kernohan , BACP

Leanne Kernohan is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse, and she also supports people working on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Leanne approaches therapy from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be built on to move through difficulties and toward meaningful change. She recognises the courage involved in seeking a more fulfilling life and aims to offer a steady, empowering presence as clients take their first steps.

Her practice emphasises collaboration and practical progress, helping clients to understand patterns, clarify values, and develop manageable strategies for coping. Sessions are designed to be respectful and client-led, with goals shaped together and progress paced to the individual. Whether addressing relationships, grief, sleep issues, or broader life transitions, Leanne focuses on fostering resilience and clearer direction so people can work toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Leanne works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed steps that align with those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and challenges with motivation or urges.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections, trust, and intimacy. This approach supports work on attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties by helping people recognise and reshape unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Leanne collaborates with clients and considers input from licensed professionals and therapists to determine which methods best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they experiment and adjust approaches until the best fit emerges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments and to access consistent support from different locations, helping people maintain momentum in their therapeutic work.
