About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma, codependency and many other life changes. Leanne works in a warm, non-judgemental way to make it easier to speak about painful things.
Her approach is rooted in Person-Centred counselling, which means she aims to listen fully and accept each person as they are. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, when practical steps and action plans are helpful. Mindfulness techniques are included to help slow racing thoughts and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are calm and straightforward. Clients are invited to cry, sit in silence, rant or try practical exercises. Leanne focuses on understanding what is happening now and looking back gently at past experiences that still cause pain.
She trained for five years to become a qualified counsellor and CBT practitioner and has worked in private practice for 11 years overall. That mix of listening and structured work means therapy can be reflective or goal-focused depending on the person’s needs.
In conversation she builds a clear picture of the issues affecting daily life and helps people create small, achievable steps towards change. The aim is to help clients regain confidence, find clearer direction and feel more able to cope with life’s stresses.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Leanne uses Person-Centred counselling to create a listening space where people can be open without judgement. This approach focuses on empathy and acceptance and helps when someone is stuck, grieving or struggling with self-worth.She also offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which breaks problems into smaller parts and works on practical steps and short-term plans. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, phobias and managing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help slow racing thoughts and develop present-moment awareness, which many people find useful for stress and overwhelm.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions stay reflective, become more action-oriented, or blend the two.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, quicker check-ins when needed, and options that suit quieter surroundings or less screen time. The biography notes she works online as well as in person, but please confirm the current session formats before booking.
