Leanne Orrick, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an accepting, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects to help you make sense of your feelings and choices. This approach is helpful when you need to be heard and to build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and specific problems where clear goals and homework can make a difference.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple paying-attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with stress, sleep problems and managing overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss what you need and try different ways of working together. She collaborates with clients to match method to goals, and adapts the pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Online sessions allow flexibility across video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or movement around the UK while keeping the process practical and consistent.
