About Leanne
Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She brings a calm, practical manner to sessions and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Leanne works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood changes, stress and low self-esteem.
She commonly supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anger and compassion fatigue. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction concerns, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties.
Background and approach
Parenting pressures, career decisions and the effects of chronic illness or caregiver stress are within her scope. Leanne uses a mix of approaches so sessions focus on what helps the individual most. Her practice is influenced by Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques.
That lets her combine emotional work with practical steps to cope day to day. Her background includes NHS work and several roles across different organisations. She has experience supporting people from varied backgrounds and addresses additional areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity, codependency and commitment worries.
Leanne describes her style as collaborative and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to help people build resilience, notice patterns that cause distress and try manageable changes. Outside work she enjoys time with her dog Rex, motorsports and reading by the fire.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Leanne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their emotional responses and strengthen how they relate to feelings. EFT can be useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life or relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify what matters to them and build small, actionable steps that match their values. ACT often helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; this can help when someone wants to change repeated relationship or trust issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree a way of working together. Plans can be adjusted as therapy proceeds so the method fits the person's experience and aims.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy schedules or provide regular, brief support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around family, work or travel commitments.
