About Leanne
Leanne Roughton is a counsellor who works with people facing stress and anxiety. She has three years of practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and individuals.
She helps people through relationship difficulties and family conflicts. She also supports those dealing with depression and major life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening without judgment and helping people name what is happening for them. Leanne works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also addresses workplace problems, compassion fatigue and career-related stress.
Additional areas she notices in her practice include attachment and abandonment wounds, body image and communication problems. Her style is practical and people-centred. She creates time to understand each person's immediate needs and life situation.
From there she and the client set simple, realistic goals to work towards between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Leanne uses an approach that fits the person rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
She encourages small steps and practical strategies alongside talking through feelings.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people understand and change patterns that cause ongoing distress. One example is working with thoughts and behaviours - this helps when anxiety, low mood or procrastination get in the way of daily life by teaching more helpful ways to respond. Another common focus is relational patterns and attachment - sessions look at how past experiences affect current relationships and aim to improve communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach happens together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful based on your goals and your situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on thoughts and behaviours, relationship patterns, or a mix of methods.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life and to try different ways of meeting over time.
