About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor who uses a pluralistic approach to shape therapy around each person. She blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and other painful experiences. Her style is warm and collaborative, focused on listening and practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Leanne has ten years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. She has worked in the NHS and in community settings, helping with trauma, low mood, self-esteem issues and neurodevelopmental challenges. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, cancer-related distress and compassion fatigue.
She describes her practice as client-led, which means sessions follow the priorities the person brings. Leanne uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work when these fit the client’s needs. She aims to help people build resilience and notice patterns that keep difficulties going.
Her background includes a degree in Psychotherapy and ongoing study towards a Master’s in Psychology. Leanne draws on this learning to keep her work grounded in practical ideas and clear explanations. She often combines talking, reflective exercises and behavioural tasks to help people make small, steady changes.
Outside work, Leanne spends time with her dog Rex, enjoys motorsports and reading, and values an annual family retreat that helps her recharge.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose meaningful actions despite them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives practical strategies for reducing symptoms like low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current trust and connection, which can help with relationship worries and patterns of avoidance.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Leanne works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and goals. She will discuss different methods and try practical steps together, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean follow-up exercises and worksheets are shared quickly, supporting steady progress between sessions.
