Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through emotional and psychological challenges. She introduces a warm, down-to-earth approach and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily life. Leanne aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow for worried parents reading on their phone.

Her practice is pluralistic, blending several methods so sessions match each person’s needs and goals. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centred techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

Background and approach

Conversations tend to focus on small, practical steps that can be used between sessions. Leanne also works with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions and compassion fatigue, as well as concerns around self-esteem, body image and intimacy. She offers support for people facing life changes, career worries, parenting strain and the tiredness that comes with caregiving.

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and ADHD related challenges. Her clinical background includes work across the NHS and other organisations, giving her experience with diverse needs and situations. The BACP credential shown is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, which Leanne holds.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the matching process.

How Leanne’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood when someone wants to live more in line with what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and emphasises listening, empathy and collaboration. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means therapy can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit people who need brief check-ins or want to write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
