About Leonard
Leonard Blake works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and grief. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns and career pressures. Leonard uses clear, practical conversations to help people find a way forward.
He has five years in independent practice and has seen clients referred from national agencies as well as people who came privately. Leonard begins from an existential viewpoint that asks what matters in a person’s life.
Background and approach
From there he draws on Jungian ideas alongside other approaches to help clients make sense of their feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on the personal meanings behind thoughts and behaviours. He uses client-centred listening so people feel heard, and offers practical tools from cognitive behavioural and dialectical methods when helpful.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape present ones. Leonard aims for a conversational style. He helps people notice repeating patterns, try small changes and build coping skills.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. He works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions can be arranged in a way that suits the individual, with options for different online formats and communication styles.
Leonard holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his credentials. He frames his work around each person’s life story and current goals.

Online support
How approach and online therapy work together
Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams and life narratives to help people understand deeper patterns that shape their feelings and choices. It can be useful for those seeking meaning, coping with life changes or wanting to explore recurring emotional themes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how earlier relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. It helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and develop new ways of connecting and regulating emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try different methods, adapting sessions as needs and preferences become clearer. This means sessions can combine reflective exploration with practical tools from cognitive and dialectical methods when needed.
Online work offers flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or quick check-ins are needed, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter updates or those who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and different daily rhythms, while making it simpler to keep sessions regular.
