Lianne FloodBACP

Lianne Flood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a warm, person-focused approach to sessions. She uses straightforward conversation to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and pregnancy and childbirth related concerns. Lianne explains things plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable. She holds BACP as a credential and has four years of professional experience.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where their thoughts and feelings are listened to. Lianne practises client-centred work, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused work to identify small, practical steps forward.

Her experience includes supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and challenges around intimacy and sexual expression, including BDSM and kink communities. She also helps with parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, and family of origin matters. Lianne is mindful of how attachment and abandonment can shape present difficulties.

Sessions are aimed at people wanting clear, practical support for everyday problems and bigger life changes. The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, with time given to build trust and work at a comfortable pace. Lianne works in English and does not take international clients.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she asks a few simple questions to help focus the first sessions and set manageable goals together.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns so the conversation centres on what matters most to them. It helps people who need space to process feelings and to be heard without direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns by developing clearer, practical ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, achievable changes and build on existing strengths to move forward quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change, so the work stays relevant and collaborative.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It also supports keeping progress going when life circumstances change, and lets therapists and clients try approaches that fit into day-to-day routines.
