About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice supporting people through anxiety, depression and stress. She uses a flexible, person-centred style so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Leanne blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
That mix helps people learn practical skills and also notice what matters most to them. She listens first, then suggests options that fit the person rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
Her work covers many common concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions and mood conditions such as bipolar and depression. She also supports clients with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, parenting strain and career stress. Phobias are one of the issues she lists among her specialities.
Leanne has experience supporting people with neurodevelopmental differences, attachment and abandonment issues, and the stresses of caregiving or chronic illness. She has worked in the NHS and in community settings across different counties, so she is used to diverse life situations. Sessions can include practical exercises, thought‑work and emotional processing depending on need.
The process is collaborative: she helps people set goals and reviews progress together. Outside work she enjoys time with her dog and reading, which she says help her recharge.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Leanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which often translates well to online sessions through worksheets, behavioural experiments and structured planning. ACT helps people clarify their values and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, using exercises and values work that can be done in conversation or between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Leanne will discuss different methods with clients, try things out, and adapt based on what helps someone meet their goals and feels most comfortable for them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, offering flexibility for different lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or need brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
