About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip works with stress, anxiety, trauma and many life challenges using a pluralistic practice that draws on person-centred ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She is BACP registered and has ten years' experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns.

Leanne uses different ways of working to fit what a person needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's goals. She listens for patterns in thinking and feeling, then practises ways of responding that reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Her work covers common problems such as low mood, anxiety and self-esteem difficulties, as well as trauma, self-harm and neurodevelopmental challenges. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, parenting strain and career concerns.

Leanne has additional focus on attachment matters, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and the impact of chronic illness and caregiving stress. She also addresses body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, codependency and communication problems.

She studied for a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology. Her practice blends client-centred listening with active CBT techniques so clients can try different approaches and choose what helps best.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Leanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and values-based action so people can live around difficult feelings; it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms and build new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, then agree on which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for digital sessions so practical work continues between meetings.
