About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology. Leanne works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and anger, alongside mood and relationship difficulties.

Her practice draws on several proven approaches, with a focus on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions begin with the client’s immediate concerns, and practical strategies are offered to help manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Leanne aims for clear, straightforward conversations rather than jargon.

Clients often bring things like low mood, self-esteem problems, addiction or struggles with intimacy and family roles. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic illness, bereavement, and career stress. Leanne notes particular experience with attachment-related issues such as abandonment, adoption or foster care backgrounds.

In sessions she blends approaches sensibly, choosing what fits a person’s goals and situation. The work can include looking at patterns in relationships, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and building practical coping steps. Sessions are collaborative - the client and counsellor decide what to try and review what helps.

Outside her clinical role, Leanne enjoys simple pleasures like time outdoors with her dog and reading. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people get better control over day-to-day reactions and emotional overwhelm.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help reduce anger-driven reactions and avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers simple tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits, useful for anxiety, low mood and anger management.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current responses. It can be useful when anger or mistrust shows up in close relationships or when abandonment and attachment concerns are present.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit. They review what helps and adjust the plan together.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options rather than a video call.
