Lee-Anna Devine , BACP

Lee-Anna Devine is a United Kingdom based counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing issues related to LGBT identity, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and attention-deficit challenges, and offers particular experience with neurodiversity including ADHD and autism spectrum concerns. Her practice also addresses difficulties such as abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, chronic pain and illness, personality-related concerns, and the emotional consequences of sexual assault and abuse.

As someone who is neurodiverse herself, she brings lived experience alongside her clinical work, which informs a practical and empathetic approach to concentration, memory, impulsivity, isolation, and the specific stresses faced by autistic people. Lee-Anna draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and Psychodynamic methods to tailor support to each person she sees. She holds BACP credentialing - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standing within the UK counselling field.

Lee-Anna believes in treating every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and aims to create a safe space for exploration and growth. She collaborates with clients to develop treatment plans that reflect individual needs and goals, and she recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy is often the hardest part of the journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships and early attachment patterns, helping people understand how past connections affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful for those struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, and relational difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and the client's own capacity for growth, offering a non-directive space where individuals can explore identity, self-worth, and life purpose. This approach often benefits people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences that shape current behavior and feelings, which can be helpful for addressing long-standing personality difficulties, unresolved grief, and repeated relational cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lee-Anna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her use of these approaches as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between appointments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
