About Leanne
Counsellor and BACP member with ten years' experience, Leanne Bartrip supports people in the United Kingdom who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and related difficulties. She works with a wide range of issues including mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and neurodevelopmental challenges. Sessions are client-led and draw on several established therapy methods.
Leanne trained in psychotherapy and is working towards a Master’s in Psychology. She describes her practice as pluralistic and commonly uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. That means she combines practical techniques with a focus on how a person experiences themselves and their relationships.
In sessions she helps people talk through overwhelming feelings and recurring patterns. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural work are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas can help when past relationships affect current ones.
She has supported people with domestic violence, self-harm, bereavement and chronic health stress. Her background includes work within NHS services and with other organisations across different counties. This has given experience with varied life situations and cultural backgrounds.
Leanne offers a straightforward approach. She listens, helps set realistic goals and reviews progress with each person. Outside work she spends time with her dog, enjoys motorsports and reads widely.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help when avoidance or unhelpful thinking holds someone back.)Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It aims to help people feel heard and to build clarity about what they want to change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to try based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
