Leanne McCann, BACP, NCPS

Leanne McCann, BACP, NCPS, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and addiction. She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain and career stress. Leanne works with adults and young people to find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming.

Leanne practises from a person-centred, integrative stance that aims to be warm and non-judgemental. She listens first to what matters to each client, then brings in tools from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-focused strategies when they fit. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help manage difficult thoughts and build practical skills. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and connection. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are available where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are helpful.

Leanne has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. She offers clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists as part of her practice.

Sessions are conducted in English and Leanne accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Leanne blends practical approaches for online work

Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as key parts of her integrative practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and developing new coping strategies, often helping with mood, sleep and overthinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Leanne listens to each person’s goals and life circumstances, then suggests techniques to try together. She adapts methods over time so the work fits what each client needs and prefers rather than applying a fixed model.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people appreciate being able to continue therapy while travelling or managing caregiving duties, and the therapist will discuss what will best suit scheduling and practical needs during the initial steps.
