Leanne Orrick helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She supports those struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, sleep problems and parenting stresses. She also attends to trauma and abuse, attention difficulties and a wide range of life changes and career concerns.

Leanne works in a straightforward, kind way. Sessions are warm and honest. She listens without judgement and encourages practical steps when they suit the person.

Background and approach

Clients can cry, pause in silence, or try small action plans during sessions. Her practice blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques. The client-centred side means the person’s experience comes first.

CBT offers clear, measurable steps to tackle worries and unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness helps with stress, sleeping and staying grounded. Leanne has been practising for 11 years and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She runs sessions from the United Kingdom and offers online options as well as phone and text formats. Work with Leanne usually starts by building a picture of what is happening now, and where change is needed. Together she and the client agree practical goals and small steps.

The aim is to help people find clearer footing, feel heard and make steady progress. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the client’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person fully and treating their experience with respect. It helps when somebody needs to feel understood and accepted before making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses small, measurable steps to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that feel right together. That choice is made collaboratively and can be changed as progress is seen.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and location, and let people access registered or accredited professionals from across the country.
