Leanne Orrick, BACP

Leanne Orrick recognises the courage it takes to seek help and approaches each person with warmth, respect and practical support. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and a wide range of life challenges, offering a steady, nonjudgemental presence as clients explore what feels stuck or painful.

Trained as a counsellor and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Leanne combines a Client-Centered foundation with practical CBT techniques and mindfulness-informed tools to tailor therapy to each person. Her Client-Centered work prioritises listening deeply and meeting clients where they are, while CBT offers goal-focused steps and measurable strategies for tackling fears, phobias and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity in everyday life.

Leanne aims to create a space where clients can cry, laugh, sit in silence or speak freely without pressure. She emphasises collaboration - building a picture of what is happening, then working together to identify small, meaningful changes that help people move toward greater purpose and wellbeing. A member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she has 11 years of experience supporting people in person in St. Helens town centre and online across the United Kingdom.

Sessions with Leanne are described as warm, honest and often emotional, and she focuses on listening beneath surface barriers so clients feel heard, understood and accepted as they work toward their goals.
