About Leanne
Counsellor and BACP member Leanne Roughton has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and depression. She also supports people through life changes and bereavement.
Leanne focuses on practical conversation and clear listening. Sessions are a place to talk about what is happening now and how it affects day-to-day life. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to notice small changes that make life easier to manage.
Her background includes supporting clients through trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures and workplace problems. She also works with concerns such as anger, low self-esteem, body image and grief. Additional areas she sees include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, narcissism and post-traumatic stress.
Leanne describes her approach as evidence-based techniques used in straightforward ways. She aims to help people develop coping skills, improve communication and manage overwhelming feelings. Practical steps and regular check-ins form part of how she structures sessions.
People meet Leanne to talk things through and to find clearer ways to cope. She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in remote counselling
Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people identify patterns in their thoughts and feelings, and then try different ways of responding. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.Another approach she draws on looks at how relationships and attachment affect current difficulties. This helps when people are dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment fears or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leanne will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward together. That means setting clear goals, checking progress and adjusting techniques if something isn’t working.
