About Lee-Anna

Lee-Anna Devine is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. She also works with related areas such as attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Lee-Anna draws on her own lived experience of neurodiversity to inform her practice. She understands the day-to-day challenges of ADHD and of being on the autism spectrum, and she uses that perspective when talking things through with clients. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical ways to manage concentration, memory, impulsivity, isolation and anger when these arise.

Her approach combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means conversations often look at current relationships, early patterns that still affect life now, and what matters most to the person in front of her. She aims to listen closely and help people name the repeating patterns they want to change.

She will work at a pace that suits the individual and discuss what might help most, whether that is exploring past experiences or trying new coping strategies. The emphasis is on clear, honest dialogue about feelings, boundaries and how to move forward when life feels stuck.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.

How her therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and trust. In online sessions this can help people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who struggle with closeness and boundaries.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist offers attentive listening and reflection to help people clarify their feelings and priorities, which can be useful when reevaluating career, relationships or life purpose.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past experiences and recurring themes to understand current behaviour. This approach can help when unresolved grief, trauma or personality patterns make decision-making and daily life more difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what fits best given the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as understanding develops.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on scheduling. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps concentration or energy levels.
