Lea Kendall , NCPS

Lea Kendall is a UK-based therapist who brings 12 years of professional experience to her online practice, offering a calm, grounded, and collaborative space for adults seeking change. Holding NCPS, a professional credential in counselling and psychotherapy, she supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her work also extends to issues such as addictions, sleeping difficulties, career questions, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.

Lea’s approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending client-centered listening with practical tools drawn from coaching and mindfulness. She uses cognitive and creative techniques, nature-based practices, and self-awareness exercises when they suit a person’s needs, helping clients reconnect with inner resources and make step-by-step changes. Many people come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of self; she focuses on building a warm therapeutic alliance that supports gradual, meaningful movement.

Lea has a particular interest in supporting women through hormonal and identity shifts including ADHD, peri-menopause, and motherhood, while also working with men facing stress, emotional overwhelm, identity questions, and relationship difficulties. She welcomes neurodiverse clients and values authentic human connection in every therapeutic relationship. Outside her clinical work, Lea is a nature guide, forest educator, and a home-educating mother who champions self-trust and healing from within. She offers therapy in English and is accepting new clients, including those based internationally.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Lea uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgmental environment where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship to help people explore values, identity, and emotional blocks. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into sessions to help clients develop present-moment awareness, reduce overwhelm, and build skills for emotional regulation and stress management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Lea collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for everyday life.

Practically, Lea offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or varying energy levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support that can be scheduled around work, family, and other commitments, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
