About Lea

Lea Kendall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-centred approach to help people make practical change. She works with adults and offers a calm, collaborative space to talk about what feels stuck. Lea combines listening with practical steps so people can try things between sessions.

Lea has 12 years of documented practice and uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential ideas and mindfulness alongside client-centred work. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and on building skills for everyday life.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue. Lea also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, addictions and life transitions. Additional topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

In practice she offers coaching-style tools, mindfulness exercises and space to reflect on values and purpose. She pays attention to emotional patterns, communication problems and impulses so clients can notice what changes help. Lea aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and move toward decisions that feel right for them.

Outside work she spends time as a nature guide and home-educating parent, and these interests inform her practical, grounded style. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to find a suitable time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Lea blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that suit remote sessions. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. It helps with feeling heard, building self-trust and deciding on next steps.

CBT offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and shifting emotional patterns in relationships and close connection, which can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lea will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to use. This collaborative process aims to keep sessions relevant and practical.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into daily life and the chance to continue work from different locations. The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online conversations can allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling around work or caregiving, and the opportunity to try mindfulness or coaching-style exercises between meetings.
