Lennox(Lenny) Roberts-Flanders, BACP

Lennox (Lenny) Roberts-Flanders is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She is described with the BACP credential and brings a practical, supportive way of working. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and achievable for clients.

She draws on years of frontline mental health experience and several years working professionally in therapy. Sessions tend to centre on the person's story and strengths, with the counsellor encouraging new ways of coping and clearer decision making. The emphasis is on supportive, trauma-aware listening rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Lenny uses several common therapeutic approaches to match what people need. These include client-centred work that follows the client's pace, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and elements from dialectical behaviour work for managing strong emotions. Narrative and emotionally-focused methods are also listed among her approaches.

People come for help with depression, bereavement, compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, chronic illness and relationship problems such as communication and attachment issues. There is also experience with eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, and ageing and geriatric issues as part of a broader practice focus.

Sessions are conducted in English and Lenny works within the United Kingdom. She asks people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers a steady, collaborative presence while they work through the issues that brought them to counselling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy follows the person and aims to create a collaborative conversation. The counsellor listens without directing and helps you find your own solutions, which suits issues like low confidence, life transitions and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises between sessions to try small changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and distress. It teaches ways to tolerate difficult feelings, improve emotion regulation and strengthen interpersonal communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest methods that feel like a good fit. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments or caregiving duties and can reduce travel time. It also allows practical tools and written materials to be shared between sessions to support learning and practice.
