Leanne Roughton is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She supports people dealing with relationship challenges, family conflict and depression, as well as those adjusting to major life changes.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical support, recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Leanne works with individuals and families to uncover patterns, develop coping strategies and strengthen communication. She is committed to guiding clients through the early stages of change and helping them move toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Leanne commonly draws on relational and skills-based, evidence-informed techniques. Attachment-focused relational work helps people explore patterns in relationships and address issues such as intimacy, abandonment and communication problems by looking at how early experiences influence present-day interactions. Skills-based coping work focuses on practical tools - such as stress management, emotional regulation and problem-solving - to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and difficulty managing life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone meetings, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility that helps clients fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work, accommodate different comfort levels with communication, and support continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
