About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship challenges. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep problems and LGBT concerns. Leanne uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Leanne works from a Person-Centred perspective, which means she aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental relationship where clients can speak freely.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on practical steps and short-term strategies when that approach fits a person’s goals. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with grounding and managing stressful moments. In sessions she listens closely and helps build a clearer picture of what is happening for each person.
She draws out practical actions, goals and simple plans when people prefer an active, structured way forward. She also makes room for silence, emotion and slower exploration when that feels more helpful. Leanne trained for five years to become a qualified counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and has worked in independent practice for 11 years.
Her credential is BACP, which appears after her name. She works with many issues such as ADHD, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress and a wide range of relationship and life-change difficulties. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.

How Leanne uses counselling approaches online
Leanne combines Person-Centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in ways that suit the person she is working with. Person-Centred work focuses on building a caring, non-judgemental relationship so people can speak openly and be heard. This approach helps when someone needs space to name feelings, make sense of life events and feel accepted.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical changes. It often suits people who want clear steps, short-term goals and measurable progress with issues such as anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide whether to focus on listening and reflection, practical CBT tasks, mindfulness practice, or a blend of these methods.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments and offering sessions where a quieter setting can be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to help people continue therapy when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
