About Leanne
Leanne Orrick offers support for common parenting stresses and related concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps people who are coping with trauma, addiction, sleeping problems, anger and work-related strain. Leanne uses straightforward, calm language and aims to make the first step into counselling feel manageable.
Leanne works in a warm, non-judgemental way and listens first. She uses a person-centred style that lets people speak freely and be heard.
Background and approach
If practical steps are needed, she can weave in cognitive behavioural techniques to build small, measurable changes over time. Sessions are described as honest and often emotional, with space for silence, tears, laughter or talking things through out loud.
She focuses on understanding how past experiences and present pressures combine to make daily life harder, and on finding realistic ways to change what is not working. With 11 years of experience, Leanne holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as the professional framework for her work.
She runs an online practice and also sees people in person in the United Kingdom, giving flexibility on how to connect. Her approach suits people who want both listening and practical tools. Working together, she helps clients build action plans, set small goals and regain a clearer sense of purpose.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, guided by the client’s pace and priorities.

How her approaches work online
Leanne draws on person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people via online sessions. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening with acceptance, so clients can talk freely, be heard and explore feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to work through difficult emotions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps build small, practical steps to change them. It can be especially useful for anxiety, phobias, low mood and repetitive negative thinking by breaking problems into manageable tasks and measurable goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a shared process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is good for a full conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical change.
