About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She presents a calm and practical style and works collaboratively to help clients find manageable ways to cope. Her practice includes work around sleep and rest concerns alongside anxiety, low mood and stress.
Leanne uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on a few methods to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on what matters now - reducing worry, improving sleep routines, and building small habits that help day-to-day life. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical, with clear steps between meetings.
Her background includes a degree in Psychotherapy and ongoing postgraduate study at master's level in Psychology. Leanne also brings experience from the NHS where she has supported adults and children across a range of issues. That work exposed her to many real life problems such as trauma, domestic violence and neurodevelopmental differences.
In practice she aims to create a non-judgemental atmosphere where people can be open about struggles. Therapy is client-led and collaborative, so sessions are adapted to fit individual goals and situations. Practical worksheets, reflective conversations and action plans are used when they suit the client.
Outside of work Leanne enjoys time with her dog, Rex, motorsports and reading. She values simple ways to recharge, like annual family retreats in the woods, and brings that same focus on restoration into her work with people who want better sleep and steadier moods.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where practical steps matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small changes to reduce symptoms such as worry or sleeplessness. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for a person to be heard and understood, helping build self-awareness and confidence through empathic listening and reflection.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. This means sessions can change over time as needs shift, with both therapist and client checking what helps most.
If you are planning online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Discussing practicalities up front helps fit therapy into everyday life - for example choosing shorter check-ins when schedules are busy, picking audio-only when video is difficult, or arranging times that suit work and family rhythms. These practical options can make it easier to attend regularly and to build steady improvements over time.
