Leanne Bartrip , BACP

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with more than ten years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is currently completing a Master’s in Psychology, bringing a strong academic background to her practical work. BACP registration indicates she is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Her practice is pluralistic and person-centred, drawing primarily on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also incorporating other evidence-informed approaches where helpful. This flexible style means therapy is shaped around each person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. Leanne describes her work as collaborative and compassionate, aiming to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthier ways of coping.

Throughout her career she has supported people facing low mood, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, and neurodevelopmental challenges, as well as a broad range of issues such as relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and workplace stress. She currently provides therapeutic support within the NHS to both adults and children and has experience delivering counselling across different counties and organisations to people from diverse backgrounds.

Leanne balances her clinical commitments with everyday life outside work, enjoying adventures with her dog Rex, quiet movie nights with popcorn, motorsports, reading, and an annual family retreat to a cabin in the woods to reconnect with nature and recharge.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Leanne works with several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive environment where the individual’s values and choices guide the pace and goals of therapy, supporting self-awareness and personal growth. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in close relationships, helping people understand and shift repeated relational dynamics that affect intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Leanne works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people access support. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home, during work breaks, or while travelling. For many, this range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and enables ongoing work with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographic location.
