About Lee-Anna
Lee-Anna Devine is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people facing family and parenting stresses, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are presented in English and aimed at adults seeking help with home and relationship strains.
Lee-Anna describes herself as neurodiverse and draws on that lived experience when talking with clients about attention differences and autism spectrum issues. She listens for how day-to-day difficulties affect routines, concentration and memory. Conversations are practical and grounded. She helps people name the problem and look at small changes that make a difference.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, client-centred counselling, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix allows time to notice patterns from early relationships, follow what matters most now, and focus on the person in front of her. She uses straightforward talk, reflective listening, and paced thinking rather than jargon.
People commonly bring concerns about abandonment, communication problems, loneliness, guilt, and the emotional consequences of past abuse. She also works with issues linked to chronic illness, personality difficulties, and questions of life purpose and self-regard. Lee-Anna keeps the conversation practical and focused on day-to-day coping.
Sessions follow a collaborative style. Together they identify goals and agree simple steps to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session via the platform's online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions. It can help people who find themselves repeating patterns at home or feeling easily abandoned or shut out.Client-centred counselling centres the person and their priorities. The therapist listens actively and follows what matters to the client, which suits people wanting a practical, person-led conversation about parenting strains or identity concerns.
Psychodynamic ideas help name longer-standing patterns and emotions that might link to past trauma or family dynamics. This can be useful when grief, shame or personality issues make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first based on goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus on short-term coping, exploring past patterns, or a mixture of both.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around childcare, shifts at work, or other everyday demands. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for conversations that do not require being on camera, depending on the format offered by the service.
