Leanne’s Therapeutic Approach

Leanne works from a person-centred foundation, believing that everyone has the capacity to find their own way forward when they feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted.

Her role isn’t to tell clients what decisions to make, but to provide the therapeutic relationship that lets them explore their thoughts, emotions and options with confidence. Working at each client’s own pace, in a warm and calm environment, Leanne helps people reconnect with their strengths, gain clarity, and begin moving forward in a way that feels right for them.

Areas of Specialisation

• The emotional impact of a partner’s online sexual behaviour or a sexual offence investigation
• Betrayal trauma and loss of trust
• Anxiety, shame, guilt and emotional overwhelm
• Relationship uncertainty and difficult future decisions
• The impact on family life and parenting
• Social isolation and fear of other people’s reactions
• Loss of confidence and self-esteem
• Grief for the relationship and future you believed you had

Every client’s journey is different. Some are hoping to rebuild their relationship; others need support deciding what comes next. Whatever your circumstances, your own wellbeing remains the priority.

Why Choose Leanne as Your Counsellor?

When someone you love is arrested or investigated for a sexual offence, it can feel as though your world has been turned upside down. The relationship you thought you knew may suddenly feel uncertain, and questions about the future can quickly become overwhelming.

Partners and family members often carry a complex mix of emotions, shock, betrayal, anger, sadness, confusion, guilt and fear, while trying to make sense of an experience that few people feel able to talk about openly.

Leanne provides specialist counselling for partners, spouses and family members whose lives have been affected in this way. She understands that no two situations are the same, and that everyone responds differently. Whether you’re trying to understand what’s happened, cope with the emotional impact, or make difficult decisions about your future, Leanne offers a safe, confidential and compassionate space to process your experience without judgement.

As part of Empowerment Pathways’ specialist therapeutic team, Leanne works alongside colleagues who support individuals experiencing problematic online sexual behaviour, while her own focus is the emotional wellbeing of partners and families. This integrated approach ensures everyone affected receives support tailored to their own needs.
