Leanne Bartrip, BACP

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is completing a Master's in Psychology. Leanne works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency.

Leanne describes her practice as pluralistic and client-centred. She draws on several approaches so sessions focus on what the person wants to change. In practical terms that can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment and emotional patterns, or paying attention to values and what matters most.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. Leanne uses clear, everyday language and helps people learn skills they can use between meetings. She aims to make sessions useful from the start, with straightforward goals and small steps to try out in daily life.

Her background includes work in the NHS and in community settings across different counties. That experience has involved supporting people with neurodevelopmental differences, domestic violence, self-harm and long-term physical health challenges. She also supports people facing career changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and bereavement.

Outside work Leanne spends time with her dog and enjoys motorsports and reading. She mentions family retreats as a way of recharging, which shapes how she thinks about recovery and rest in everyday life.
