About Lea

Lea Kendall is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Lea also helps people facing addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and ADHD related challenges.

Lea’s approach centres on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She uses clear, conversational work to help people name what is difficult and try different ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with space to talk through thoughts, feelings and everyday patterns.

She draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and steadiness during transitions. That can include short exercises, breathing practices, and questions that help someone weigh options and make choices that fit their life. Lea may also use solution-focused steps to support immediate change between sessions.

People often come to Lea feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps and build habits that carry into daily life. Work might cover communication, coping with caregiver stress, managing impulsivity, or dealing with guilt and shame.

Lea accepts international clients and works in English. Her practice recognises practical pressures around parenting and household life, and she aims to make sessions fit real routines rather than add more strain.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Lea blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in plain, usable ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them, which suits worries about parenting, relationships and self-worth. CBT looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and gives step-by-step strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lea will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and they will choose methods together. That collaborative decision can change as needs change, with more practical CBT tasks at times and more reflective client-centred work at others.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy around childcare, work and other routines by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals, including Lea, aim to help clients integrate therapy into everyday life rather than add extra burden.
