About Lianne
Lianne Flood is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and occupational strain.
She uses straightforward talking and practical methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier. Lianne works with people to set clear goals and to try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions may include examining thoughts and behaviours, practising new skills, and concentrating on realistic next steps. The emphasis is on short, doable experiments rather than long lists of theory.
Lianne has experience helping with relationship communication, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating-related issues, and stress from parenting or fatherhood roles. She also addresses areas such as dissociation, control issues, domestic violence, and sexual culture topics including BDSM and kink when people bring these up.
Sessions are conversational and practical. People who come to her can expect clear examples, step-by-step strategies and homework they can try between meetings. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How Lianne uses CBT and brief therapies online
Online sessions can be used to work with thoughts, behaviours and practical problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then try different responses. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood, eating concerns and stress by breaking problems into specific thoughts and actions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people to clarify their own goals and to feel heard while deciding next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what will look different when things improve; it is useful when people want goal-directed, time-limited work.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss problems, goals and preferences and then choose methods to try. That may mean combining CBT exercises with reflective listening and short action-focused tasks so the work fits the person rather than a fixed method.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy week. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs.
