About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through emotional and life challenges. She uses a pluralistic style, drawing on different approaches to match each person’s needs and goals. Leanne aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions where people feel heard and able to make changes.
Leanne trained with a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology to deepen her understanding of human behaviour. Her work often uses person-centred ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, adapting sessions to the individual rather than using one fixed method. She describes her manner as compassionate and client-led.
Her experience spans a wide variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, grief and bipolar presentations. She also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and career-related stress, among other issues. Leanne has worked in the NHS and in community settings across different counties.
Leanne also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Additional areas she has addressed include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Sessions are aimed at building self-awareness, resilience and practical coping strategies. Outside work she enjoys time with her dog Rex, motorsports and reading, and values regular family trips into nature as a way to recharge.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like low mood, panic or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can aid intimacy-related and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped before, then tailor a mix of methods to suit the individual. Together they will review what is working and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people access a therapist in the United Kingdom from other locations when international arrangements are suitable. Registered or accredited professionals can support practical coping, emotional processing and goal-focused work through remote sessions when that fits the client's needs.
