Imagine Feeling Better
Therapy for adults and children in Colne or online with Leanne Barrett.
I’m a Consultant Psychotherapist (MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice), accredited with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
My work is informed by a range of evidence-based approaches including Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Talking Therapy.
This means I can adapt my approach to meet your individual needs; whether you prefer a practical, goal-focused method or a more reflective space to explore your thoughts and emotions.
I work with adults and children aged 5+, offering support with:
- Anxiety & panic
- Depression & low mood
- Substance recovery
- Trauma & abuse recovery
- Relationship issues
- Work-related stress
- Emotional overwhelm or burnout
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Sometimes therapy starts with simply saying, ‘I’m not okay.’
What to Expect
I offer a warm, easy-going approach where you can talk openly and feel heard without judgment. I listen carefully and reflect back what I hear, helping you to hear yourself more clearly. I’ll ask gentle questions, notice your body language, and support you in exploring your feelings at your own pace.
I work with adults, children, and young people, and also offer in-school therapy and wellbeing support for pupils and staff across the Burnley and Pendle area.
In-person sessions take place in comfortable, private rooms in Colne and Padiham, and I also offer online sessions via Microsoft Teams for those who prefer flexibility or remote access.
School & Young People Services
Supporting the wellbeing of pupils and staff across Burnley and Pendle
At Mental Care Therapies Ltd, we help schools create emotionally safe, inclusive environments where young people can thrive and where staff feel supported too.
We provide therapy, supervision, and training for schools across Burnley, Pendle, and surrounding areas.
Online Therapy
Online therapy is live professional mental health counselling via the internet using Teams.
Online therapy provides accessibility to individuals who are disabled or housebound. Mobility can be a big issue when it comes to accessing mental health care.
In-Person Therapy
Traditional, in-person therapy usually takes place in a therapist’s office and has long been used as an effective treatment for many different mental and emotional health problems. Talking to a professional can help you overcome obstacles in your life, gain awareness of the root cause of your problems, manage symptoms, and heal
Therapeutic Support for Students
We work with young people aged 11–18 who may be struggling with:
- Anxiety, panic, and school-related stress
- Emotionally based school avoidance
- Low mood and self-esteem
- Autism or ADHD-related challenges
- Peer or behavioural difficulties
Sessions are delivered in-school, during the school day, to reduce barriers to access.
For some pupils, creative methods such as Sand Tray Therapy can help them express emotions safely when words are difficult.
Funding: Sessions can be funded through EHCP top-up, SEN budgets, or parent contributions (£47/session).
Supervision & Support for School Staff
Professional supervision provides a safe, confidential space for DSLs, teaching staff, counsellors, and pastoral staff to reflect on their practice, manage stress, and build resilience.
Mental Care Therapies uses the Page & Wosket Cyclical Model to encourage insight and growth in a supportive environment.
These sessions can be funded through CPD or wellbeing budgets.
