About Leny
MBACP (Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Six years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. Leny Kuriakose works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression.
Leny describes herself as an integrative counsellor who combines different counselling methods to suit a person's needs. She explains things in straightforward terms and helps people talk through patterns, relationships and difficult events to find clearer ways forward. Her background includes work with organisations focused on anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and trauma recovery.
Her practice pays attention to how life experiences and culture shape how people feel and relate. She also lists focused concerns such as codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and social anxiety.
Sessions with Leny centre on what the individual brings to the room and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. She adapts counselling methods as needed rather than using a single fixed approach. That flexibility is intended to make sessions useful for everyday problems as well as deeper trauma-related issues.
People considering counselling with her are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule a first session. Leny is fluent in English and works to the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
How Leny adapts evidence-based approaches for remote care
Leny works integratively and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma and mood difficulties. For example, trauma-focused methods help people process distressing memories by gradually approaching difficult material and building coping skills to manage intense feelings. For anxiety and panic, cognitive-behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance and fear.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Leny will discuss different methods with each person and agree which to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the work as sessions progress so the approach fits what is actually helpful.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work, study and family commitments and reducing travel time. The site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session, so arrangements are clarified before you begin. Confirm the exact session options available with Leny before booking to ensure they fit your day-to-day routine.
