About Leanne
Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and LGBT issues. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings and the practical steps they want to take next.
Leanne uses evidenced approaches such as Trauma-Focused CBT and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside emotion-focused and creative methods. She emphasises the working relationship and starts by getting to know the person and the problems they want to tackle. Work is collaborative and focused on insight and workable solutions.
She offers trauma-informed and trauma-focused work for people who have experienced specific traumatic events. Leanne describes trauma work using a three-phase recovery model of safety and stabilisation, remembrance and trauma processing, and reconnection and integration. She notes that progress is not always linear and that people often move between phases.
Leanne has significant experience with sexual abuse, complex bereavement and domestic abuse. She also works with self-harm and researched therapists' experiences of self-harm in her MSc thesis. Other areas she addresses include attachment and adoption issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and communication problems.
Sessions aim to explain how the brain and nervous system respond to stress and trauma, and to help people develop practical ways to manage symptoms. People who want to look at life purpose and what comes next after a big change can bring those questions to the room and explore them together.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Leanne draws on evidence-based methods such as Trauma-Focused CBT and cognitive behavioural techniques. Trauma-Focused CBT is a structured approach that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce distressing symptoms. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour and help people try different ways of responding to anxiety and low mood.She also uses emotion-focused and creative techniques to help people identify and express feelings that are hard to name. These approaches can suit people dealing with loss, attachment concerns or identity questions, and can be adapted to focus on life purpose and next steps after change. Deciding which mix to use is done together, with the therapist checking what feels useful and adjusting as work progresses.
