About Leanne
Leanne Orrick helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief and self-esteem problems.

Leanne works with many life changes such as career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and bereavement.
Leanne uses a warm, direct style and aims to make talking easier. She listens without judgement and encourages practical steps when helpful. Sessions can include quiet reflection, emotional expression and goal-focused work depending on what someone needs.
How Leanne works
Her background includes 11 years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience shapes a calm, steady approach clients often find grounding. Leanne trained in person-centred methods and also practises cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness strategies.
In practice she builds a picture of what is happening for each person. Together they set small, realistic goals and try out changes that can be measured. When appropriate she uses short action plans to reduce overwhelming symptoms and create clearer daily routines.
Sessions are delivered online and by phone or text, making it possible to fit therapy around work and family life. Leanne aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to untangle difficult feelings and practical problems. She focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that shape online therapy
Leanne combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas to make online therapy practical and compassionate. Person-centred work means the therapist prioritises understanding and acceptance, helping someone to feel heard and to explore thoughts and feelings without judgement. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, measurable steps to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and phobias. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention exercises and grounding techniques that help reduce rumination and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adapt sessions as life changes or new needs appear.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better into a workday. Live chat and messaging can be useful for people who prefer writing or need quick feedback between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still using the same therapeutic methods and shared planning.
