About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and grief. She introduces practical steps and down-to-earth conversation so people can start feeling steadier. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and move at a pace they find manageable.

Leanne describes her practice as pluralistic, which means she draws on more than one approach. She commonly uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns and try small changes. This helps when anxiety, low mood, codependency or relationship concerns are wearing a person down.

Her work has included helping people with trauma, self-harm, addictions and neurodevelopmental challenges. She supports people who are coping with illness, caregiver stress, bereavement or big life changes. The aim is to strengthen coping skills and increase day-to-day resilience.

Leanne works within the NHS and has also provided counselling across different counties and organisations. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology to deepen her understanding of human behaviour. Her BACP credential is shown as BACP.

People who meet her can expect a warm, collaborative style. Leanne helps individuals notice what they value and take practical steps toward those goals. Outside work she enjoys time with her dog, Rex, motorsports and reading in the woods.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Leanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take small steps towards what matters to them; it can suit people dealing with anxiety, low mood or codependency. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s pace so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Leanne will discuss what the client hopes to change, what has helped before and how different methods might fit those goals. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time so appointments can be more consistent. If you are considering starting, confirm the specific session options available before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can use online sessions to support people across locations while tailoring pace and techniques to each person's needs.
