About Leanne

Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, ADHD and a wide range of life changes. Leanne is based in the United Kingdom and combines a warm, honest style with practical tools to help people move forward.

Leanne practices from a person-centred base, which means she aims to listen without judgement and follow each person's pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, offering clear, manageable steps when clients want focused work on patterns of thought and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are blended in to help with stress, sleeping problems and emotion regulation.

Sessions are described as emotional but supportive, with space to cry, laugh, sit in silence or talk things through. Leanne emphasises building trust and respect so that each person can explore what works and what doesn’t in their life. Practical tools such as action plans and mind maps may be used when helpful.

Her background includes five years of initial counselling training followed by private practice work. She lists 11 years of overall experience and holds BACP registration. That means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

If someone is unsure where to start, she suggests figuring out small, measurable steps together. Leanne’s approach mixes listening with concrete techniques so people can find clearer direction and regain a sense of purpose.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Leanne draws on client-centred counselling to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That approach focuses on listening carefully and responding without judgement, which can help people feel heard and understood even when they are speaking remotely.

She also offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at thought patterns and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, phobias, low mood and sleep problems because it breaks issues down into small, manageable steps and clear action plans.

Mindfulness techniques are sometimes used alongside these approaches to develop attention and calm, helping with stress, sleep and emotion regulation in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide whether talking-led person-centred work, structured CBT tasks, mindfulness practice or a mix suits a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as therapy progresses.

The biography notes that she practises online as well as in person, but it does not list specific online formats here. Confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still enabling use of practical tools and action plans during the therapy process.
