Leanne Connors

Leanne Connors is a Seattle-based coach whose practice is grounded in coaching psychology and applied positive psychology, drawing on strengths-based approaches and principles of psychological flexibility to support people through change, uncertainty, and challenging circumstances. “I find deep value and purpose in helping people navigate life’s most challenging transitions — gaining clarity and perspective, discovering possibilities, and developing the confidence and capability to move forward and thrive in what comes next.” Leanne holds an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, is an EMCC Global accredited Senior Coaching Practitioner, and is a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society. Her professional training includes group coaching and group dynamics, Acceptance and Commitment Coaching, collaborative law practice, and facilitative and family mediation. Leanne has a professional interest in understanding and advancing coaching as a distinct, evidence-informed practice, with its own competencies and professional considerations. Her postgraduate research explored how experienced group coaches exercise professional judgment when navigating moments of tension and uncertainty in their coaching practice. Her interests also extend to group coaching and the unique opportunities it offers for learning and development through shared experiences and diverse perspectives. She is a member of Collaborative Professionals of Washington (CPW), King County Collaborative Law (KCCL), and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), reflecting her commitment to constructive, interdisciplinary approaches and her belief in the complementary role coaching can play alongside other professional services. Leanne lives in Seattle with her two children. Outside of work, she enjoys good food, cooking, discovering new places and experiences, and great conversation — and is always on the lookout for a beautifully crafted cocktail.
