Leanne Roughton

Leanne Roughton is a counsellor who bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She helps people who struggle with relationship problems, family conflict and depression. Leanne also supports clients through life changes and the ongoing stress that can come with them.

Leanne holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She has three years of professional experience working in the UK. Her practice focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and make sense of what they are facing.

In sessions she aims to be practical and straightforward. Conversations include identifying patterns that cause distress and trying out small changes that feel realistic. She will gently guide people to notice how old patterns affect present life and suggest ways to cope with strong emotions like anger or grief.

Leanne works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures and career-related strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment worries, and workplace problems.

Her approach is collaborative. Clients can expect a calm space to talk, options for managing symptoms, and support to make changes at a pace that suits them.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online support

Leanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical tools. One common approach is problem-focused work that looks at current patterns and tests small changes to reduce distress; this helps with stress, anger and daily difficulties. Another approach is supportive talking therapy that lets people process painful events and grief while building coping strategies for trauma-related or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess what feels most useful for each person and adapt techniques to match goals and preferences. This means discussing options together and reviewing what is helping as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Ask which session formats are offered when you match. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or for telephone options when video is not practical. Confirm current session arrangements with the service so you know what will suit your day-to-day life.
