About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a BACP counsellor with 11 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and anger among other concerns. She also works with issues linked to parenting, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Leanne uses a Person-Centred approach as the foundation of her work. That means she aims to offer an accepting, non-judgemental listening style while people talk through what is hard for them. She makes space for emotion, silence or practical problem-solving depending on what a client needs in the moment.
Alongside Person-Centred work, Leanne practises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small, manageable changes. She describes CBT as useful when someone wants short-term, action-focused tools for anxiety, low mood or phobias.
Mindfulness ideas are also woven into sessions to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build calmer responses to stress. Sessions can include simple exercises and practical steps that a person can try between meetings.
Her practice combines listening and practical techniques. Leanne invites people to build a clearer picture of what is causing difficulty and then plan small steps forward. She asks clients to work collaboratively on goals and on ways to measure progress.
Leanne offers work for a wide range of life problems including trauma, intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, abandonment and blended family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Leanne uses different approaches in online work
Leanne integrates Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness when she offers online appointments. Client-Centred therapy means the counsellor listens without judgement and lets clients set the pace and topics for discussion. This approach suits people who want a steady, listening relationship while they talk through difficult feelings.CBT is presented as a practical, goal-focused method. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments or steps between sessions to change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques focus on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice automatic habits.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Leanne will work with the client to decide whether more listening, more CBT tasks, or more mindfulness practice is best. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as goals and needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy into a busy day and avoiding travel. Because specific session formats were not detailed in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer online appointments that make it easier to maintain regular work on anger, anxiety or grief without rearranging a full day.
