Leanne Bartrip
Practical, person-focused counselling for life challenges
About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through strong emotions and life changes. She uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help clients manage anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship challenges. Leanne writes in plain terms and focuses on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred methods. Sessions typically focus on clear steps - identifying unhelpful patterns, trying out different ways of coping, and building skills that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
She adapts the work to each person rather than using one fixed method. Leanne has worked across health services and community organisations in the United Kingdom. That background means she is used to helping people with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, grief, addictions, burnout and neurodevelopmental differences.
She brings practical experience and a down-to-earth manner to sessions. People see her for issues like sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, career pressure, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the impact of attachment or abandonment experiences on adult life.
The work often combines short-term coping strategies with longer-term reflection on values and relationships. Leanne aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard. Her style is collaborative - she helps set goals and checks in on progress.
Outside work she enjoys walks with her dog and quiet evenings with a good book.

How Leanne's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, insomnia and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and connection, and can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss options and tailor the methods to your goals and preferences. That means plans can include short practical exercises or deeper relational work depending on what you want to achieve.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is useful when you want face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging is helpful for short check-ins or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make regular sessions easier to attend and to keep progress steady.
