Leanne Bartrip

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP therapist with ten years of practical experience supporting people through difficult emotions. She works in a way that suits each person, using straightforward methods to help them cope with stress, anxiety, anger, grief and low self-esteem. She aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful from the first session.

Leanne practises a pluralistic, client-centred style. That means she draws on different approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas, and adapts them to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on real-life problems and practical steps rather than jargon.

Her background includes work in the NHS and roles across several organisations and counties. This has given experience with a wide range of issues, including trauma, self-harm, neurodevelopmental differences, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with career or parenting strain and long-term health challenges.

Leanne emphasises collaboration. She listens first, then helps people identify goals and small changes they can try between sessions. Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere and clear work on coping skills and patterns that maintain problems.

Outside the consulting room she enjoys spending time with her dog, Rex, reading and motorsports. She is completing a Master’s in Psychology to further deepen her understanding of human behaviour and therapeutic practice.

How different approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and living with long-term problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and patterns, and can help with trust, intimacy and relationship-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss different methods and recommend a plan together. That plan can be reviewed and adjusted as you go, so you find what helps most for your goals and circumstances.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time, which can help people keep continuity over weeks or months. Registered and accredited professionals can offer the same collaborative planning and skills work online as they do in person, helping people build coping tools and track progress in day-to-day life.
