Lea Kendall

Lea Kendall is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with the NCPS credential and twelve years of experience. She offers a calm, grounded space where adults can talk through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, addictions, and life changes. Lea focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves to start making small, steady changes.

Lea uses an integrative style that brings together client-centred listening, practical CBT skills, emotionally-focused work, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. She mixes talking with simple exercises, breathwork, and awareness tools when these feel useful.

Her work often addresses trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, career worries, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people facing body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and money or midlife questions. Lea pays particular attention to the transitions women commonly face, such as hormonal and identity shifts, while working with any adult who seeks support.

Lea describes her approach as practical and human. She helps clients clarify small goals, build coping habits, and reconnect with inner strengths. Sessions aim to be straightforward and doable, with attention to feelings and everyday demands.

Outside therapy, Lea spends time as a nature guide and forest educator and brings that gentle curiosity into her work. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to availability.

How Lea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Lea commonly blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Client-centred work means the conversation is led by the person and paced to their needs; it helps when someone needs empathy and space to make sense of feelings. CBT focuses on noticing thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Mindfulness introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.

Finding the right mix is part of therapy. Lea works together with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as people learn what helps them most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different techniques such as guided mindfulness or homework exercises between meetings, making it easier to practise skills in everyday life.
