About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, addiction issues, parenting strain and many other everyday pressures. Her practice also notes concerns around intimacy, trauma, ADHD and family-related difficulties.
Leanne uses a Person-Centred approach as the base of her work. That means she aims to listen without judgement and help people make sense of what is happening in their lives. She also offers elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when a practical plan or focused steps will help move things forward.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Leanne encourages honesty - anger, tears, silence and humour are all part of the process. Together they map what is causing distress, what keeps it going and what small changes could make day-to-day life easier.
For worries tied to the past, such as attachment or abandonment issues, she works to uncover patterns and how they show up now. For immediate problems like panic, insomnia or low mood, she may introduce CBT-style techniques and small tasks to try between meetings.
Leanne also supports people dealing with parenting stress, blended family pressures, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver strain. Her aim is practical: to help people identify manageable steps that fit into busy lives and to review progress as they go.
How sessions work
How her approaches work online
Leanne combines Person-Centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness ideas. Person-Centred work focuses on listening carefully and helping people make sense of their feelings. It suits people who need to talk things through without judgement and to find clarity at their own pace.CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural steps. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood because it offers concrete tasks and measurable progress. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus across daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
