Lee-Anna Devine helps people facing LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief, family tensions and ADHD-related challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely, offering steady support for practical struggles and painful losses. Her approach is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on understanding each person's situation.

She works from a place shaped by her own experience of neurodiversity, which informs how she talks about concentration, memory and the everyday effects of ADHD and autism spectrum differences.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to make sense of what is going on now, and to find manageable steps forward. Lee-Anna uses talking therapy to untangle difficult feelings and recurring patterns. Her practice also covers issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, guilt and shame, and coping with chronic pain or long-term illness.

She pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and day-to-day life. That practical focus means conversations often include strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve routine. Lee-Anna draws on client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas to explore feelings and personal history.

Attachment-based thinking is used to notice how people relate to others and to themselves. Together with the client she shapes goals and a plan that feels achievable. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds four years of professional experience, and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered online through a mix of video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

How attachment and person-centred approaches work online

Lee-Anna uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour; this helps when people struggle with trust, rejection or repeated relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy means sessions focus on the client's experience, with the counsellor offering acceptance and active listening so the person can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring themes and past events that shape present-day reactions, which can be useful for understanding long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what seems to fit your needs and goals and adjust methods as you go. The decision about focus and style is collaborative, with regular check-ins to make sure the plan still feels helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or care commitments, and to choose the format that best supports your energy and concentration levels.
