Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep problems, career changes, and life transitions. Her work often begins by identifying a single, achievable goal and practicing short, concrete exercises in session. Hypnosis and therapeutic imagery are used as tools to guide attention, rehearse new responses, and strengthen motivation.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to increase awareness and calm when emotions feel overwhelming. Leanne has experience addressing adoption and foster care questions, dissociation, forgiveness work, and self-love practices. She also offers help for smoking and vaping cessation and issues that commonly affect young adults.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
How imagery, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness work online
Leanne uses therapeutic imagery to help people rehearse calmer responses and envision steps toward a goal. This approach guides attention with descriptive images and short exercises that improve focus and reduce stress, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep trouble, and coping with change.She also uses clinical hypnotherapy as a tool to access concentrated attention and strengthen motivation for behavior change. In practice this looks like guided scripts and pacing that help a person practice new habits or reduce cravings related to smoking, vaping, or substance use.
Mindfulness techniques are taught to increase awareness of thoughts and bodily signals. These are brief, repeatable practices that help when emotions feel intense or when someone wants better stress management at work or home.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test approaches, see what fits, and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for guided imagery and hypnotherapy, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or practice prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or other commitments.
