About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She offers support for grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues and trauma and abuse. People also turn to her for help with sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. Leanne lists jealousy among the areas she can address as part of relationship and intimacy work.
Leanne works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She uses a Person-Centred approach so clients lead the pace and focus of the work. Sessions allow space to cry, laugh, sit in silence or talk things through until clarity starts to appear.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she uses to identify patterns and build practical steps for change. CBT is offered alongside the Person-Centred foundation, so action plans and measurable goals sit next to a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Leanne has 11 years of experience in counselling and holds BACP registration. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, attachment and adoption issues, body image, codependency, and blended family strain. She works with clients on abandonment, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, BDSM and kink related concerns, and communication problems.
Sessions are available in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Leanne’s approach is collaborative: she listens deeply, aims to understand what lies beneath presenting problems and then works with each person to build a clearer direction. If you want a counsellor who combines practical steps with a compassionate stance, she may be a good fit.

How Leanne's approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It gives you space to speak openly while the counsellor listens without judgement and follows your lead. This approach helps when people feel stuck, unheard or unsure about what they want next.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful patterns and creates small, practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, phobias and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leanne will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest whether more exploratory Person-Centred sessions, focused CBT work, or a mix would suit you best. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as you go.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also mean fewer barriers to attending if someone is managing low energy or severe anxiety, while still allowing goal-focused CBT tasks and reflective Person-Centred conversations to continue remotely.
