About Leanne

Leanne Roughton helps people work through relationship and family conflict, depression, and stress using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' professional experience in the UK.

She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Sessions cover communication problems, coping with life changes, anger, and aspects of intimacy. Leanne also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and workplace issues when these affect everyday life.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions to clarify patterns and offers ways to practise different responses between sessions. This can include looking at attachment and abandonment concerns, and how past hurts affect present relationships.

Leanne works with parents on parenting stress and with people dealing with divorce and separation or career-related strain. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue and narcissism-related dynamics. Conversations may look at feelings of guilt and shame and practical steps towards forgiveness.

She communicates in plain English and aims to make sessions easy to follow. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Leanne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is short-term structured work that helps people identify unhelpful patterns and practise different responses between sessions. This suits problems such as anxiety, stress and workplace issues where clear steps can help reduce immediate distress.

Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This involves talking about past and current relationships to understand how they affect communication, intimacy and reactions to separation or abandonment. It can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and grief that follows loss.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree which approach to try. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the approach can change if needed.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a work break or to join from a quieter location without needing to leave home. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to plan what will work best for everyday life.
