Leanne Orrick, BACP

Leanne Orrick recognises the courage it takes to ask for help and meets each person with calm, nonjudgemental support. She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective, creating a space where people can cry, laugh, sit in silence, vent or admit they do not yet know what is wrong. That accepting stance is combined with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when clients want clear steps and measurable progress.

Leanne works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting and career difficulties. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD, attachment and adoption-related matters, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, and many other complex life challenges. In sessions she aims to listen deeply and help clients uncover what is holding them back so they can make meaningful changes.

Leanne trained for five years to qualify as a counsellor and has worked in private practice for seven years. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which recognises professional standards in the UK. Her style is warm, honest and often emotional, blending empathic listening with practical strategies. Leanne sees clients in St. Helens town centre and online, and she supports people who are ready to explore their life, set goals and work toward lasting change.
