About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also helps people dealing with low self-esteem, motivation problems and the after-effects of trauma and abuse.
Leanne sees people as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on practical conversation about what is happening now and what gets in the way of change. Sessions focus on small, workable steps as well as noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. This helps people reduce reactive anger, manage stress and rebuild confidence.
Her approach draws on several well-established therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationships shape current responses.
Leanne also uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Client-centred methods keep sessions focused on the person and their perspective. Together these methods are used to reduce avoidance, manage impulses and improve communication in close relationships.
People who choose Leanne usually want straightforward, practical work. She encourages clear goals and short-term skills practice alongside deeper understanding. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by anger, relationship strain or addictive patterns, she offers a calm, direct way to start addressing those problems.

ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult emotions are present.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Leanne will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels workable. Together they decide which approaches to focus on and adapt tasks so they fit everyday life and current stresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. It can allow for shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or meeting from quieter surroundings when that suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use this flexibility to keep practical momentum while working on anger, motivation and relationship changes.
