About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief and codependency. She also works with people facing addiction, career strain, parenting pressure and trauma-related concerns.
Leanne uses a person-centred approach as her foundation. That means she listens without judgement and lets the client set the pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build practical steps and short-term action plans when needed.
Sessions commonly include talking things through, looking at repeated patterns, and trying small, realistic changes between meetings. Leanne describes the work as a balance of listening and practical problem solving. If someone responds well to clear goals and exercises, CBT elements can be introduced alongside the person-centred work.
Leanne pays attention to how the past affects the present. She helps people map out what is working and what is not, then try different ways of managing feelings and behaviours. This can include practical tools for anxiety, sleep and low mood, or ways to begin setting boundaries and reducing people-pleasing habits.
Her experience includes supporting people with attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family or adoption concerns, body image and intimacy-related topics. She also lists compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to kink and alternative sex culture among her focus areas.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Leanne uses a person-centred approach and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting back what you say, helping you make sense of feelings and choices at your own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses small, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Mindfulness practice is also part of her offering. Simple mindfulness exercises help with stress, anxiety and sleep by training attention and reducing reactivity to difficult thoughts and sensations. Each approach is explained in plain terms and chosen to match the issue you bring to sessions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Leanne will work with you to find what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and then adding short CBT tasks, or practising mindfulness between sessions. The choice is reviewed as you go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example, it can avoid travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps you engage. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
