About Lee-Anna
Counsellor Lee-Anna Devine is a UK BACP member with four years' experience working with LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and ADHD. She also lists support for abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and related areas. Lee-Anna works with individuals who bring a mix of practical and emotional struggles. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.
Lee-Anna describes herself as neurodiverse and draws on that lived experience when she talks about attention differences and autism. She uses that perspective to inform how she listens and responds in sessions. Expect straightforward conversation about what is worrying you and practical ways to handle day-to-day problems alongside deeper emotional work.
Her ways of working draw on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and psychodynamic thinking. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape feelings now, follows the person's lead in session, and looks for patterns that repeat in relationships. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, improving communication, and managing impulses or concentration issues.
Lee-Anna aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions. She will discuss goals and agree next steps with each person. Her approach mixes talking, reflective questions and a focus on what helps in daily life.
To begin, people are asked to use the site's matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect feelings and everyday responses. It can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship patterns.Client-centred practice puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client's pace, listens without directing, and supports people to make their own decisions about change.
Psychodynamic thinking pays attention to recurring themes and unconscious patterns. It can help with long-standing emotional difficulties, repeated conflicts, and issues that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lee-Anna will talk with each person about what they want from counselling and help decide which ideas and methods to try first. That choice can be revisited as work proceeds.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
