Leonard Blake , BACP

Leonard Blake brings five years of private practice experience and offers a wide range of therapeutic modalities shaped to each individual’s needs. He has worked with a diverse client base, including people referred through major national agencies as well as private clients, and adapts his approach to reflect the particular circumstances and history each person brings.

He often takes an existential starting point, exploring how a person understands their world and how that understanding influences the difficulties they face. Through this exploration, Leonard helps people recognise patterns and perspectives that can reveal a route out of their present situation toward a more thriving existence. His work uses a counsellor and psychoanalytic approach to deepen understanding and to identify practical ways forward, with methods selected to match the client’s needs.

Could Remote Therapy Fit Your Life?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - by video call, by phone, by live chat, or through in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule.

Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is needed. For those balancing work, family, or other commitments, online therapy can offer a practical and effective route to support and personal growth.
