EJF Counselling is growing again 🥳 I'd like to give a warm welcome to Leanne 💛
Hi, I’m Leanne, and I’ve been working as a Integrative counsellor for over nine years. During this time, I’ve supported children, young people, and adults through many of life’s challenges, offering a safe, supportive space to talk, reflect, and begin to make positive changes.
Much of my counselling experience has been within schools, where I have helped children and young people build resilience, increase confidence, and develop strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, trauma, and the everyday pressures of school life.
Alongside this, I also work with adults, supporting them with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, low self-worth, and the ongoing impact of trauma.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with neurodivergent children and their families. I understand the very real pressures that can come from school, family life, and trying to access the right support. I know how important it is for parents to have their own outlet too — somewhere they can talk openly, feel supported, and focus on their own wellbeing. A key part of my work includes supporting communication between children and families, helping to build understanding, strengthen relationships, and create healthier ways of connecting with each other.
In my practice, I also place great importance on psychoeducation — helping people understand more about their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and the impact of past experiences. I believe that when we learn about how our mind and body respond, it can reduce fear, build confidence, and give us practical tools to manage life more effectively.
My professional knowledge is enriched by my lived experience, which has given me a deep understanding and passion for this work. This led me to train further and gain a Diploma as an ADHD Coach, enabling me to offer additional support to children and young people with ADHD, as well as their families.
I am also a qualified supervisor, working with counsellors and psychological practitioners who support children, young people and adults.
