About Lea
Counsellor and NCPS member Lea Kendall has 12 years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addictions and relationship concerns. Lea also covers trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, career and coaching topics, and supports those with ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Lea uses a mix of person-centred and practical methods. She combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused techniques. Mindfulness and solution-focused elements also feature in sessions when they fit the client’s needs.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. Lea listens to what is happening now and helps people talk through patterns that cause distress. She helps set small, manageable goals and practises skills together in session so people can try them between meetings.
Her background includes working across a wide range of life concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress. She also addresses chronic pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation and money and financial worries.
Lea works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the site prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own perspective. It helps people who feel stuck, unheard or unsure how to move forward by encouraging clear self-expression and reflection.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions, and to practise new ways of responding to them. It is useful for worries about attachment, intimacy and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is done together so the plan fits the person's needs and life circumstances.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family and work commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, meetings without needing travel, and choices about whether to use video or audio depending on what suits the client.
