About

Leanne Winter MBACP BA (hons) Adv. Hyp Dip

Hi, I'm Leanne, a qualified and experienced therapist with over six years of practice. I work in an integrative way, drawing on my skills as a counsellor and psychotherapist, coach and hypnotherapist, to provide the most effective service for each of my clients. 

​

People often come to me when they're going through transitions, experiencing grief, affected by trauma, or struggling with intimacy or communication in relationships. I've developed a particular interest in working with couples, and am passionate about helping people feel more connected and empowered in their relationships.

​

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with a steady grounding presence. I listen deeply, challenge gently, and support you to explore what's holding you back, and find ways to help you move forwards.

​

I have lived experience of loosing a child, relationship breakdown, financial challenges and living with neurodiversity, all of which have inspired me to be a therapist, and given me a deep empathy for people going through their own challenges. 

​

Some of the issues I help my clients with:

​

  • Relationship breakdown​ and loss of desire

  • Navigating a consensual non-monogamous relationship                                              

  • Loss of a pregnancy, baby or child

  • Conflict, fear and isolation

  • Parenting a child with additional or complex needs

  • Managing the effects of trauma and PTSD

  • Living with addiction

  • Supporting a partner with health issues 

  • Infidelity and sexual issues

  • Physical, emotional and sexual abuse

  • Finding self acceptance and self love

  • Anxiety and depression

 

I am  LGBTQIA+ aligned and regularly work with people in consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. I work well with neurodiverse clients, and am happy to discuss any adjustments you may need to make your sessions more accessible.

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 and psychotherapist. Due to my own personal journey, I have a special interest in relationships, grief and loss. I have continued to develop my knowledge and skills, studying courses in relationship therapy, traumatic grief, pregnancy and infant loss, neurodiversity and alternative lifestyles. 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.
