About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a gentle, adaptable way of working that draws on several talking therapies to match what an individual needs. Leanne explains things plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for people under stress.
Her practice uses a pluralistic approach, blending person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural methods and other therapies as needed. This means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and use practical strategies when helpful.
Background and approach
Leanne places emphasis on listening, building understanding, and helping people find clearer ways to cope. Leanne has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and difficulties with addiction. She also works around issues such as bipolar difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment and adoption matters, autism and neurodevelopmental challenges, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She has worked in the NHS and across multiple organisations, offering one-to-one counselling and emotional support. Her background includes a degree in psychotherapy and she is completing a Master’s in Psychology, which informs her practical approach.
Leanne keeps sessions collaborative and client-led. Outside work she enjoys time with her dog Rex, motorsports and reading. She values simple routines that help people recharge and aims to bring that same calm, steady attention into her therapeutic work.

How Leanne works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches over time so that each meeting responds to what the person needs that week.
Please confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time and offering a shorter check-in when needed. It can also allow quieter, screen-based conversations for people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals use these options to help therapy sit alongside everyday life.
