About Bogdana
Counsellor Bogdana Leete is a BACP member with six years of practice, working in the United Kingdom with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationships and grief. She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian and provides online and telephone counselling to fit around busy lives.
Bogdana uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may be included when they suit the work.
In sessions she takes an active role and shares practical self-help tools. That can mean learning ways to manage panic, improve sleep, or reduce low mood. She also helps people explore difficult feelings after loss or abuse and how those feelings affect day-to-day life.
The first meeting focuses on why someone is seeking counselling and what they hope to achieve. Bogdana asks questions to understand the situation and to agree how to work together, how often to meet, and the fees. This is also a chance to ask about her experience or qualifications as a BACP member.
She supports people who want short-term, goal-focused work and those who need longer talking therapy. Practical coping strategies sit alongside time to reflect on patterns from the past. Sessions aim to be flexible so counselling can fit around other commitments.
People choosing to work with her should check session options before booking and can expect clear discussion about the plan for therapy at the start.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-centred work means the counsellor listens and follows what matters most to the person. It focuses on talking, reflection and developing understanding of current problems and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep. Mindfulness involves simple exercises to help notice thoughts and bodily reactions and to reduce overwhelming stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bogdana will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the person's goals and circumstances. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
The profile states she offers online and telephone counselling, so please confirm the exact session formats before booking. People often find online or phone sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. Telephone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when not being on camera helps concentration. Ask about session length and frequency when arranging the first meeting so counselling fits into everyday life.
