About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She works in a straightforward, person-centred way and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Leanne aims to help people feel heard and find practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

Her approach draws on Existential ideas about meaning, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small steps they can take between meetings.

Background and approach

Leanne uses listening, reflection and practical exercises rather than long lectures. She has worked across the NHS and in community settings, offering help with trauma, self-esteem, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. Her experience includes supporting people with neurodevelopmental differences and complex life stressors.

That background informs how she tailors conversations and interventions. Leanne describes her practice as collaborative and compassionate. She encourages people to set realistic goals and notice changes over time.

Sessions move at the client’s pace and are shaped around their priorities. Outside work she enjoys outdoor trips with her dog and quiet evenings with a book or motorsport on TV. That down-to-earth side helps her keep therapy practical and relatable.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Existential Therapy looks at the big questions people bring to therapy such as meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone feels lost, stuck or overwhelmed by life changes by encouraging honest reflection about values and purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It supports people to commit to actions that match their values and works well for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that affect how people connect and feel safe. It can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment worries and attachment-related struggles by exploring past and current relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne collaborates with people to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of approaches over time so the therapy remains relevant to each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for richer conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel schedules, and to keep continuity when life is busy.
