About Leanne
Leanne Orrick is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and issues such as addiction and sleep problems. Leanne works with questions about identity, intimacy and life changes, including career strain and compassion fatigue.
She blends a person-centred way of working with practical cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions are warm and non-judgemental while also offering clear steps and small goals when useful.
Background and approach
Leanne aims to listen deeply so clients feel heard before moving on to change-focused work. Sessions may include talking things through, noticing patterns, setting achievable tasks and practising simple mindfulness exercises. She uses these tools to help with anxiety, phobias, unhelpful thinking and everyday coping strategies.
The emphasis is on realistic, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Leanne trained for five years to become a qualified counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist and has 11 years of professional experience. She works online and from a practice in the United Kingdom, bringing practical skills together with a supportive presence.
People who choose her can expect honest, empathetic conversations and a focus on what matters most to them. Sessions aim to build clarity about what is working, what is not, and what small steps could make a real difference.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity and understanding before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, phobias and low mood because it breaks problems into small, workable tasks.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Short exercises can help with stress, sleeping problems and staying grounded during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a blend of methods together. This collaborative process means techniques are chosen to fit the person, not imposed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and geographic distance, while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.
