Bogdana Leete, BACP

Bogdana Leete offers flexible counselling delivered by online and telephone sessions designed to fit around existing commitments. She adopts an individualised approach, recognising that no single method suits everyone, and adapts techniques to each person’s circumstances to support mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

Her practice is client-led and nonjudgmental. Bogdana works collaboratively to build understanding and help people explore difficult thoughts and feelings in a safe space. She takes an active role in the counselling relationship and shares practical self-help tools and techniques tailored to each person’s goals.

Bogdana specialises in areas including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, sleep difficulties and insomnia, panic attacks, self-injury, relationship and family issues, adaptation during emigration, and grief. She also works with a broad range of concerns such as stress, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, parenting and fatherhood matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Her clinical approaches include client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused work, integrative practice, and art-therapy. These approaches are combined as appropriate to meet each person’s needs.

During the first session Bogdana will explore why someone is seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. She asks questions to assess whether the therapeutic relationship is a good fit and to determine the most suitable form of support. If both agree to continue, they will discuss how often to meet, session fees, and working arrangements, which are recorded in a working contract. Prospective clients are welcome to ask about her experience and qualifications, including her BACP credential. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Bogdana works with adults, older adults, trainees, and young people. She provides services in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, and is based in the United Kingdom while accepting international clients.
