Leanne Orrick

Leanne Orrick welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship problems or anger. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictive behaviours, trauma, sleep issues and parenting pressures. Leanne frames therapy as a practical, supportive process where clients are heard without judgement and helped to find clearer footing.

Leanne uses a person-centred way of working so clients set the pace and the focus. She also practises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, offering short-term, structured tools when people want concrete steps and measurable progress. Mindfulness-based ideas are woven in to help with everyday calm and presence.

Sessions are warm and straightforward. Leanne encourages honesty, silence, tears and laughter as part of the work. She aims to build trust, map out what is causing difficulty, and agree simple action plans where they help.

Leanne trained for five years to qualify as a counsellor and also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She has worked in private practice for eleven years overall and brings that experience into each meeting.

She practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. If you are thinking about starting, the typical route is to complete a short matching questionnaire on the site and then book a session when you are ready.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online counselling

Leanne blends person-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in ways that transfer well to an online setting. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and being alongside someone without judgement, helping people to feel understood and to explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical steps and short-term plans to tackle patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety, depression or anger. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leanne will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a way of working that mixes listening, practical tools and mindfulness exercises. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time if needed.

For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use a quieter room at work, choose not to be on camera, or practise mindfulness between meetings, which helps the work fit into everyday life.
