Leanne Bartrip , BACP

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP-registered therapist with over ten years of professional experience working with people facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is currently completing a Master’s in Psychology, further developing her knowledge of human behaviour and mental health.

Her practice is pluralistic, drawing on multiple therapeutic methods so each session can be shaped to the needs of the individual. Her work is primarily informed by Person-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she has received additional training in other approaches, allowing flexibility to match therapy to a client’s goals and preferences.

Throughout her career Leanne has supported people with low mood, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, domestic violence, trauma, self-harm, and neurodevelopmental challenges among other concerns. She provides therapeutic support to both adults and children within the NHS and has previously worked across different counties and organisations to offer counselling and emotional support to diverse communities.

Leanne’s style is compassionate, collaborative, and client-led, focused on helping individuals build resilience and self-awareness. Outside of work she enjoys adventures with her dog Rex, quiet evenings with a good book or a motorsport event, and an annual family retreat to a cabin in the woods to reconnect with nature.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Leanne often works from a Client-Centred perspective, which places the person's own experience and goals at the centre of therapy. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key method she uses; CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and many day-to-day challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit and concentrates on patterns in relationships and early experiences to help improve connection and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Leanne collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. She adapts methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, working together to adjust the focus and techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Leanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
