Leanne Roughton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Leanne aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and less daunting.

She focuses on depression, coping with life changes and family concerns. Leanne also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain and workplace pressure.

Background and approach

She helps people address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. In sessions Leanne strives to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly about what is on their mind. She listens for patterns that link feelings and behaviour, and then works with clients to find practical ways forward.

This can include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, improving communication, or setting boundaries that protect wellbeing. Leanne treats anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions and compassion fatigue with focused, practical conversations. She also supports people coping with divorce, separation, guilt, shame, forgiveness and concerns about narcissistic relationships.

Her approach aims to break problems into small, manageable steps so change feels possible. Sessions are offered in English and are provided to people located in the United Kingdom. Leanne encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes or relationship strain to consider a short matching questionnaire as the first step toward arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Leanne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people recognise patterns in their thoughts and feelings and then try small, manageable experiments to change unhelpful habits; this can be useful for anxiety, depression and workplace stress. Another approach emphasises building stronger emotional and relational skills, such as clearer communication and healthier boundaries, which is helpful for relationship strain, attachment concerns and parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and day-to-day realities, then suggest options and adapt the work as needed. Together you will decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust them over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you see facial expressions and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and appointments while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional growth.
