Lee-Anne Marshall , BACP

Lee-Anne Marshall is a counsellor who uses acceptance and values-driven methods to help people make meaningful change. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed and person-centred ways of working. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She aims to make emotional work feel manageable.

She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lee-Anne has helped people cope with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse and people dealing with relationship and family problems.

Her wider work covers a broad range of concerns. These include grief, addictions, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem and career-related worries. She also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar difficulties, chronic illness, caregiving strain, body-image concerns, abandonment issues and the effects of adoption and foster care.

Sessions are shaped around each person's situation and goals. Lee-Anne listens first then agrees a plan together. She draws on emotionally focused and existential perspectives when feelings about connection, meaning or life choices are central.

People can expect a respectful and sensitive tone in sessions. Conversations aim to build clarity, increase practical coping skills and strengthen connections to what matters most. The focus is on small steps that fit day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online counselling

The therapist commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them, which helps with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and can help when trust, intimacy or family ties are central to the concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose or blend approaches to match the individual's needs so sessions feel relevant and respectful of where each person is starting from.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility around time and pace. Video calls support a standard conversational format, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging can suit people who prefer writing between sessions. These options help make therapy fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional connection.
