Bogdana LeeteBACP

Bogdana Leete offers counselling for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and the pressures that come with family and parenting. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and bereavement. Bogdana works to fit therapy around everyday commitments and communicates in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

Bogdana uses a flexible, person-led approach. She listens first, then adapts methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce panic and worry, build confidence, and handle big life changes. She shares self-help tools that match your goals and situation.

In early sessions she will ask about why you are seeking help and what you hope to achieve. That first meeting also covers how you will work together, frequency of sessions, and fees. The aim is to agree a clear plan and make sure the way of working feels right for you.

Her practice treats a wide range of concerns such as coping with loss, self-harm, work stress, chronic fatigue and difficulties following migration. She helps people reconnect with friends and family, and supports those facing separation or changes in parenting roles.

With six years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Bogdana blends methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused work. She takes an active role in sessions while remaining guided by what matters most to the person.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed method. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters most to the client, helping people gain self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical strategies to reduce panic, manage anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. This makes it easier to pick or combine methods that suit your situation, and the plan can change as you progress.

The counsellor offers online and telephone counselling but please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life, making it easier to have therapy around childcare, work or travel. Telephone sessions may be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. The practical aim is to make regular sessions possible alongside everyday commitments rather than to promise a particular format.
