About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practical experience. She offers a flexible, down-to-earth approach that adapts to each person's needs. Leanne focuses on helping people manage anxiety, low mood, trauma, and life changes with steady support and practical tools.

Her work blends client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions start by listening and understanding what matters most to the person. From there she helps set realistic steps to reduce distress and build everyday coping skills.

Leanne draws on attachment-informed thinking when relationships or early experiences are part of the difficulty. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values while managing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.

She has worked in NHS settings and in community services across different counties, supporting people with a wide range of concerns. That background means she is used to practical problems as well as emotional ones, and to tailoring her approach to individual circumstances.

Leanne is comfortable talking about issues such as adoption and foster care, abandonment, neurodiversity, grief, parenting strain, and long-term health challenges. She aims to make sessions collaborative and straightforward so people can take small, effective steps between appointments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then take steps that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, or for coping with life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. That approach helps when trust, closeness or abandonment history affect day-to-day relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leanne will listen to the person's situation, discuss options, and help choose methods that fit goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to work from a quiet space or need a flexible schedule, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements can be discussed.
