Leanne Bartrip, BACP

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP counsellor with 10 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting strain. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage emotions and cope with life changes.

Leanne uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach that draws on several evidence-informed methods. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-based ideas. In practice this means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes and develop clearer values to guide choices.

She has worked in the NHS and in community settings across different counties, supporting people with trauma, self-harm histories, neurodevelopmental differences and complex grief. That background informs how she supports someone juggling parenting pressures alongside mood or anxiety problems.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Leanne aims to help clients build practical skills such as thought-challenging, emotional regulation and new ways to communicate within strained household relationships. She encourages gradual change and realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

Outside clinical work she enjoys time with her dog and occasional motorsport events. Her lived and professional experience shapes a straightforward, goal‑oriented way of working for adults trying to manage family life, relationship tensions or the demands of parenting.
