LeanOnUs closed down after 15 years on 5th June 2026. The information and links will no longer be maintained on a regular basis. However, we have left the information online as a reference and a tribute to those we lost.

You have a few options: ​ Take a look in The Life Archive and choose one of the four portals that would be applicable to your story. Pop over to the community blog and take a look at the categories. Click on the magnifying glass at the top right of your screen which will take you to the search box then type in the word, or phrase, you wish to search. ​ If you still can't find what you are looking for, send a message to Sonya Gryz on Facebook or Instagram.

LeanOnUs was a community of individuals with the common goal of helping others via stories, products or skills both online and in real life. It consisted of members based in various countries around the world and the website was administered from within the UK. To find out more, visit the 'about' page.

We worked closely with Bob Brotchie (at Anglia Counselling) since the spring of 2012. Bob provides services to clients both within the UK and worldwide. For further details please send an email (in confidence and without obligation) to Bob Brotchie (bob@angliacounselling.co.uk). If you are unsure of your needs, check out the free resources still available on this website.
