About Leanne
Leanne Roughton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship problems, family conflict, depression and the stress of life changes. She also works with those facing trauma, grief, intimacy concerns and issues around guilt and shame.
Leanne encourages straightforward conversation about what is worrying someone. She creates a setting where people can talk without fear of judgement and where difficult feelings can be named and explored. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage day-to-day strain.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including parenting worries, career stress, compassion fatigue and anger. She also addresses attachment and abandonment themes, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and workplace issues. Post-traumatic stress and narcissism-related dynamics are included in her experience.
Sessions aim to find clearer ways of thinking about guilt and shame and how these feelings affect relationships and choices. Leanne offers support for people wanting help with forgiveness, rebuilding trust in themselves, or setting boundaries in difficult situations.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and a first session scheduled through the site. Practical arrangements, costs and session rhythm vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising different responses. For example, a cognitive-style approach helps people notice and challenge self-critical or guilt-based thinking, which can reduce rumination and improve decision-making in relationships.Another common approach works with attachment and relational patterns. This looks at how past experiences of closeness or abandonment shape current intimacy, communication and trust. It can help someone understand repeated interactions and try new ways of relating that feel safer and clearer.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and together they will decide which techniques to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something does not fit.

Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only options when that suits the person better.
