About Leanne
Leanne Kernohan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on men’s wellbeing and practical support for everyday struggles. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style and believes people know their own story. Leanne aims to help clients build on their strengths and take manageable steps towards change.
She describes her work as supportive and empowering. Leanne has worked professionally for four years and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential. Her experience includes helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and problems with motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
In sessions she listens first and then helps clients find small, realistic changes they can try. Leanne uses a mix of approaches to suit each person, including cognitive work to shift unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based ideas to make room for difficult feelings. She also draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at relationship patterns and motivation strategies to support change.
Leanne often helps people facing grief, sleeping difficulties, anger, and life transitions such as separation or career change. She also works with issues around parenting, fatherhood, body image, chronic illness and substance use. Her approach aims to be straightforward and collaborative so clients can apply what they learn between sessions.
If someone wants to begin, Leanne asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. She accepts international clients and conducts her work in English.
How Leanne's approaches work well online
Leanne uses cognitive behavioural methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are easy to apply in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on noticing patterns of thought and testing small changes to see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages making space for difficult emotions while choosing actions that match long-term values. Both approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, addiction-related behaviours and problems with motivation.She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can be useful when talking about intimacy, communication and fatherhood. Choosing the right approach is a shared process; the therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.
