About Lee-Anne

Lee-Anne Marshall is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and supports people affected by trauma and abuse. She also helps with parenting strain, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem difficulties.

Lee-Anne focuses on direct conversation and practical steps. Sessions are gentle but straightforward. She listens to the immediate problem, and then helps clients try ways to reduce distress and improve daily coping. Many people come for help with communication, setting boundaries, or managing overwhelming feelings.

She uses a blend of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means conversations cover thoughts, feelings and the ways relationships affect everyday life. The work can include noticing patterns, experimenting with small changes, and practising new ways of relating to others and to oneself.

People who contact her are often managing life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or complex family arrangements like adoption and blended households. She also offers support around identity and intimacy-related concerns. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common goals.

Sessions aim to be steady and practical. Lee-Anne asks about recent events, what is working, and what the client wants to try next. If you are unsure which approach will help most, she will discuss options and adapt the focus as the work unfolds.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making practical shifts in everyday life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape responses to stress. It can help with communication and managing strong emotions in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which methods to try first. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy continues, so the focus can change if something else seems more helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For many people, remote meetings offer a practical way to maintain regular sessions around work, caregiving or health demands, while still using the same approaches discussed above.
