About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship or identity concerns. Leanne describes a broad caseload that also includes ADHD, grief, addiction and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
She trained in psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology, which she says has deepened her understanding of human behaviour. Her practice draws on multiple approaches so sessions can be shaped to each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
In sessions she uses person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations focus on the person’s experience while also trying practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She aims to work collaboratively, helping clients build self-awareness and practical coping skills.
Leanne has experience across health and community settings, including work within the NHS and with a range of local organisations. She has supported people with neurodevelopmental challenges, trauma, self-harm and domestic violence, as well as more common problems like work stress and relationship breakdown.
She works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. People who choose to work with her are guided to set realistic goals and to try small, manageable steps between sessions. Outside work she likes motorsports, reading and walking with her dog.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to act in line with personal values. It can help when life feels overwhelming or when decisions about work, relationships or identity are hard to make.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing everyday stressors.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for difficulties with trust, intimacy and long-standing relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they will try different ways of working and agree on practical steps between sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel. They can allow for shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and help keep appointments during busy weeks. Registered or accredited professionals adapt sessions so they suit the person’s routine and goals rather than fitting therapy around a strict model.
