About Leila
Leila Turney is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem and career worries. She supports those facing major life changes and people exploring LGBT issues. Clients come for practical help with panic, social anxiety and feelings of isolation.
Leila uses a collaborative style and moves at a pace that suits each person. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and what fits into day-to-day life. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on a mix of methods. Leila integrates client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises. She also uses dialectical behaviour therapy skills and hypnotherapy techniques where these match a client’s needs.
In practice this means short, clear conversations about what is getting in the way. Together they pick small, achievable steps to try between sessions. Leila pays attention to patterns such as control issues, attachment concerns and workplace stress.
Leila holds an NCPS credential and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works in English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Online support
Approaches that suit online counselling
Leila uses approaches that work well by video, phone and messaging. Hypnotherapy can involve guided relaxation and focused attention to help with anxiety, panic and unwanted habits. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the persons own goals and feelings, offering a listening space where the client leads the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leila will discuss different methods and try what fits the clients needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for everyday life. Video calls let people work through issues face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in between appointments. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, while keeping the focus on useful skills and real-life changes.
