About Leanne

Leanne Orrick is a BACP counsellor with 11 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, grief and a wide range of life stresses common in early adulthood. She also supports clients facing trauma, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain and ADHD related challenges.

Leanne uses a person-centred approach as her base. That means she listens without judgement and helps people find their own words for what’s happening. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, offering practical steps and manageable tasks when that approach fits a person’s needs.

Sessions tend to combine listening with action. Leanne will build a picture of what is going on and work with each person to plan small, measurable steps that link to their goals. She describes CBT as useful for anxiety, phobias and trauma-related work, and says the person-centred foundation keeps the work human and straightforward.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns beyond the basics, including attachment issues, body image, blended family pressures, adoption and foster care history, and kink and alternative sexual cultures. She also supports people dealing with career uncertainty, commitment problems, communication struggles and coping with life changes.

Leanne runs sessions from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, people follow the online matching steps and book an initial session to see if the approach feels right for them.

How her approaches translate to online work

Leanne combines person-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work focuses on being heard and understood, helping someone speak through confusion and emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds short attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person's concerns, goals and preferences and then try an approach that fits. Together they review what helps, keep what works and adjust if needed, so the way of working evolves with the client's needs.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue support when their life circumstances change, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and mindfulness exercises that can be used between sessions.
