About Leanne

Leanne Orrick welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related worries, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career stress and the challenges that come with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues linked to adoption, attachment and caregiving. Leanne works in the United Kingdom and she communicates in English.

Leanne uses a person-centred approach that aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space. Sessions are calm and straightforward. Clients are invited to speak freely, pause in silence, or try practical steps as feels right for them.

She combines person-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so conversations about feelings can be paired with clear, small action steps when needed. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try manageable changes over a shorter number of sessions.

Mindfulness approaches are also part of her work, offering simple ways to notice and soothe difficult thoughts or sensations. Leanne aims to help people piece together what is working for them, what is not, and what might be changed to improve everyday life.

Leanne has eleven years' experience in the field and holds BACP accreditation. She runs a practice in the UK and offers online options for people who cannot attend in person. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Leanne blends person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to offer a straightforward online approach. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel heard, which can be especially useful for issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses small, practical steps to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias or manage low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to help notice and steady difficult thoughts or sensations. Together these methods let clients talk about feelings while also trying manageable changes in day-to-day life. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will help work out what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and let people check in from where they are. If you prefer shorter practical check-ins or exercises between meetings, this can be explored with the counsellor. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, and the therapist will explain how sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
