About Leita

Leita Sanger is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She has eight years of professional experience and works with people facing loss, motivation struggles and confidence issues. She creates a welcoming space where clients can share difficult thoughts and feelings without feeling judged.

Her background includes practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Leita focuses on practical conversations that help people make small changes. Sessions centre on listening, exploring what matters to the client and trying out different ways to cope.

People can expect calm, direct guidance and encouragement to take manageable steps. Leita supports clients who are dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns and relationship communication problems. She also works with those affected by cancer, ageing and carer stress, and with people handling separation and family difficulties.

Therapy sessions look at how thoughts and behaviour affect mood and relationships. Leita helps people build confidence, manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of control. Her style is supportive and collaborative, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.

She accepts people from outside the UK and conducts work in English. If someone is considering talking about grief or end-of-life concerns, Leita brings focused attention to those difficult topics while working to keep the process manageable and humane.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Leita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges. One common approach focuses on understanding how thoughts and behaviours affect mood, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative actions to feel better. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.

Another frequent focus is grief work and coping with loss, which involves pacing conversations about painful experiences, identifying practical supports, and developing ways to remember and adjust to change. This approach helps people make sense of loss without rushing the process.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide what feels most helpful, based on the person's goals, concerns and day-to-day life. This collaborative planning can change as progress is made.

If you prefer online work, check the session formats before booking to confirm current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when a quick session is useful. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit your routine and needs.
