About Lee-Anna

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience, Lee-Anna Devine helps people with LGBT concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and ADHD. She also supports issues such as attachment and abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and problems with concentration and memory. Sessions are conducted in English.

Lee-Anna draws on client-centred work to make sessions focused on the person in front of her. That means appointments are shaped around what someone wants to talk about and how they prefer to work. She also uses attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and earlier life events that still affect day-to-day coping.

She speaks from experience as well as training; Lee-Anna identifies as neurodiverse and says this informs her understanding of ADHD and autism. In practice that can mean adapting the pace of sessions, using clearer structure, or checking in about sensory needs and routine.

Her approach aims to be straightforward. Conversations cover the practical problems someone brings, how those problems fit into their relationships and history, and steps to try between sessions. Therapy talks may include reflecting on emotions, noticing repeating patterns, and trying small changes in thinking or behaviour.

Sessions use a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This can help with grief, abandonment worries, and difficulties trusting others. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room and on following their priorities; it helps when someone wants practical, person-led conversations about day-to-day problems. Psychodynamic ideas explore recurring themes from past experience that influence present behaviour and emotional responses. These approaches suit issues like trauma, relationship problems and repeated patterns of difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and checking in regularly about progress and the pace of work.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practical adjustments such as using more structure or written notes during a session to suit neurodiverse needs. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide how to shape appointments so therapy fits into everyday life.
