About Lee-Anna

Lee-Anna Devine is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and LGBT concerns. She also supports people dealing with family conflict, sexual assault and abuse, and long-term health issues. She writes plainly and offers a calm, respectful space for someone who needs to talk.

Lee-Anna works from a perspective that values how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of relating, Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s lead, and Psychodynamic ideas to consider unconscious influences. Sessions focus on making sense of problems and finding practical steps forward.

She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her own neurodiversity informs how she understands ADHD and autism, and she uses that lived experience alongside therapeutic approaches when it is relevant to the work.

In sessions Lee-Anna aims to listen without judgement and to tailor conversations to each person’s needs. She helps people explore feelings of abandonment, shame, loneliness, and difficulties with communication. Practical topics such as concentration, memory, and life purpose are also part of the work.

Lee-Anna encourages small, steady steps and supports people who are nervous about starting therapy. She asks clients to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, respond to others, and manage closeness or distance in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist follows your pace, listens actively, and helps you find your own solutions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring feelings and hidden patterns that affect day-to-day life and can be useful for longstanding issues like shame or repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as you progress.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing a session during a work break or between commitments. It can also suit people who prefer a quieter environment or who want shorter check-ins by phone rather than video. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can adapt the length and focus of sessions to meet practical needs without promising specific results.
