Leanne Glennon , BACP

Leanne Glennon is a BACP-registered therapist (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who prioritises building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. She works to understand each person and the issues they bring, then combines her training and clinical experience in TF-CBT and CBT with creative methods, emotion-focused work, and talking therapies to tailor an approach that suits the individual’s needs and preferences.

Her practice includes both trauma-informed and trauma-focused interventions. Trauma-focused work is offered for people who have experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events, and Leanne has substantial experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse, complex bereavement, and domestic abuse. She commonly uses a three-phase model of trauma recovery - Safety and Stabilisation; Remembrance and Trauma Processing; and Reconnection and Integration - and emphasises that recovery is rarely linear, with movement back and forth between phases often part of the process.

Leanne is experienced in working with self-harm, and her MSc thesis explored therapists’ experiences of that work. She believes that people are the experts in their own lives and adopts a co-productive stance to help clients recognise strengths, gain insight, and develop practical solutions. She offers nonjudgmental support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey, acknowledging that change takes courage and commitment.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Trauma and Anxiety Care

Leanne integrates TF-CBT, a trauma-focused adaptation of cognitive behavioural therapy that combines cognitive strategies, gradual exposure, and skills training to reduce trauma-related symptoms and support processing of distressing memories. This approach can be especially helpful for individuals who have experienced specific traumatic events.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Where appropriate, emotion-focused techniques are included to help people explore and process strong feelings and to strengthen emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Leanne collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit for the individual.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and reduces travel barriers. These options allow people to receive evidence-based care from licensed professionals in ways that suit their daily life and comfort level, while maintaining focus on effective, personalised treatment.
