About Leanne

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working with people facing emotional and psychological challenges. She uses a mix of approaches and helps with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Leanne trained in psychotherapy and is completing a Master’s in Psychology. She describes her practice as pluralistic, which means she draws from several therapeutic models rather than sticking to one method. This lets her adapt how she works to the goals and preferences a person brings to sessions.

In practice Leanne combines person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based perspectives when emotions and relationship patterns are central to the work. Those approaches are used alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) where helpful for values and coping strategies.

Clients come with a wide range of issues, including stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, bereavement, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to neurodevelopmental differences. She also supports people dealing with career changes, caregiver strain, chronic illness and body-image concerns.

Leanne has experience working in NHS settings and with diverse communities across different counties and organisations. She invites people to describe what they need so sessions can focus on practical ways to manage feelings, improve communication and build day-to-day coping skills.

How Leanne uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Leanne often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with strong emotions and to look at patterns that keep repeating in relationships. EFT focuses on recognising emotional experiences and how those shape how people respond to one another.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify personal values that guide practical steps. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand early relationship patterns and how they influence present-day reactions and closeness issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Leanne discusses options with each person and together they choose methods that fit current needs and goals. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as work progresses.

Registered or accredited professionals often find remote appointments helpful for steady progress while balancing everyday commitments.
