About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional challenges. She draws on practical talking therapy to help people manage anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship strain. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what a person wants to change next.
Leanne trained with a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology. She works in a pluralistic way, blending methods to suit each person's needs rather than following a single technique.
Background and approach
This means conversations might include exploring thoughts and behaviours, looking at attachment patterns, and building skills for everyday situations. Over her career she has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, self-harm, neurodevelopmental differences, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also helps people with parenting stress, career crossroads and life changes such as bereavement.
LGBT concerns are listed among her focus areas. Leanne currently works within the NHS and has previously provided counselling across different counties and organisations. Her practice emphasises being non-judgemental, practical and person-led, so the work moves at a pace the client chooses.
Outside work she enjoys time with her dog Rex, motorsports and reading. She values simple routines that help people recharge, and aims to bring that steady, down-to-earth focus into her sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Leanne draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, using reflective listening and open questions to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person's goals and preferences, and may blend techniques over time. The aim is to match the style and pace to what feels most helpful for each individual.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life, fewer travel needs and more flexibility in scheduling. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals typically help clients decide whether remote sessions suit their needs and daily routine.
