Leanne Orrick , BACP

Leanne Orrick brings a compassionate, practical approach to therapy, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. With 11 years of experience, she blends client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques to help clients feel seen and make meaningful changes. She is registered with BACP - a professional counselling association in the United Kingdom - which reflects her commitment to ongoing professional standards and development.

In session, Leanne creates a warm, nonjudgemental space where clients can express whatever feels necessary - from silence and tears to laughter, ranting or uncertainty. Her client-centered stance means she walks alongside clients rather than directing them, aiming to understand the person beneath the symptoms and pressures. That foundation is complemented by cognitive behavioral therapy skills, which she uses to help clients identify patterns, set small measurable goals and develop practical steps out of difficult cycles.

Leanne works with people facing stress, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, trauma and many relationship or family issues, including parenting and intimacy-related difficulties. She emphasizes collaboration, tailoring each plan to a person’s needs and preferences so therapy feels relevant and achievable. Sessions tend to be warm, honest and emotionally engaged, focused on helping clients reconnect with purpose and move forward at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches for online wellbeing

Leanne blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic relationship in which the client’s experience is heard and validated; it helps people explore emotions, identity and relationship issues at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical, measurable steps toward change - it is often used for anxiety, phobias and trauma-related responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leanne works with clients to review goals, preferences and responses to different methods, adapting the balance of listening and practical work so therapy fits each person’s needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Leanne can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic distance. These options allow sessions to fit into daily life more easily, making it simpler to maintain continuity and progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
