About Me

Leanne Winter Ba (hons) MBACP

Hi, I'm Leanne, a qualified integrative relationship counsellor registered with the BACP.

My approach is empathetic and collaborative. I listen deeply, challenge gently, support you to explore what's holding you back, and find ways to help you move forwards. I work with couples and individuals from age 12 and over.

Experience

Professional Journey

I spent many years working for the NHS in Employee Relations, and have a passion for helping people. Here I gained qualifications and experience as a coach and wellbeing support to my colleagues. As fulfilling as this role was, I knew I had more to offer and trained as a hypnotherapist, and later an advanced integrative counsellor. Due to my own personal journey, I have a special interest in relationship issues and grief.

Alongside my private practice I work as a volunteer counsellor for the Bereavement Counselling Service in Plymouth. I am a registered member of British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics.
