Leanne Orrick, BACP

Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, addiction concerns and work-related stress. Her approach is practical and down to earth, with a focus on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going.

Leanne uses a person-centred way of working, which means she aims to listen without judgement and follow each person's pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small, practical changes. Mindfulness techniques are used too, to help people calm difficult thoughts and stay present.

Sessions tend to be warm and straightforward. Leanne encourages honest talking, quiet reflection and practical steps when they help. She works to make sense of what feels stuck, then co-creates action plans and simple strategies to try between sessions.

She trained for five years to become a fully qualified counsellor and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and has worked in private practice for 11 years. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Leanne runs a practice in the United Kingdom and offers support in English. She blends listening with practical tools so people can start to change unhelpful habits and feel more in control of day-to-day life.

How Leanne's approaches work for online therapy

Leanne uses person-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which helps when people need space to talk or to sit with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thought patterns and everyday habits and uses small, practical steps to change them; this can help with anxiety, phobias, low mood and problem-solving. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice and calm racing thoughts and to stay more present in daily life.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and make access possible for people living in different parts of the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals help clients adapt tools and exercises to everyday life so therapy can be practised between sessions.
