Leanne Bartrip, BACP

Leanne Bartrip is a BACP-registered therapist with over ten years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She holds a degree in Psychotherapy and is currently completing a Master’s in Psychology, further developing her understanding of human behaviour and mental health. Being registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards.

Her practice is pluralistic, drawing on different therapeutic methods so each session is tailored to the individual. While her work is primarily informed by Person-Centred (Client-Centred) therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she has trained in additional approaches and adapts the process to match clients’ goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Over the course of her career she has worked with people experiencing low mood, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, domestic violence, trauma, self-harm, and neurodevelopmental challenges, offering compassionate, collaborative, and client-led support.

Leanne currently provides therapeutic services within the NHS to both adults and children and has previous experience across multiple counties and organisations. She believes therapy should be a non-judgmental space where people feel heard and empowered to make meaningful change. Outside of work she enjoys adventures with her dog, Rex, motorsports, getting lost in a good book, and an annual family cabin retreat to reconnect with nature.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Leanne commonly draws on Client-Centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centred therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-directive environment where the person’s own insights and values guide change - it suits people who benefit from being listened to and helped to build self-understanding. CBT is a practical, problem-focused approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, and is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She may also integrate Attachment-Based ideas to explore relationship patterns and how early connections influence present difficulties. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Leanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Leanne is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or when travelling, and allow registered professionals to maintain regular contact and continuity of care across distances.
