Lee-Anne Marshall, BACP

Lee-Anne Marshall offers a compassionate, person-focused counselling style that centres on acceptance and practical change. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people feel clearer about what matters to them and to shift patterns that cause distress.

Lee-Anne has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and grief. She also supports people facing issues around relationships, intimacy, parenting and career change.

In sessions she aims to listen first and adapt to each person's way of talking and thinking. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, focusing on what someone wants to change and small steps that make a difference. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and develop options that fit their life.

Lee-Anne also addresses attachment-related difficulties, self-esteem and challenges such as eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She brings a steady, respectful presence to these topics and helps people find meaning and practical ways forward.

Therapy can include noticing thoughts and values, exploring emotional patterns in relationships, and building skills for coping with stress. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach will find sessions that are tailored to their needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Lee-Anne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on what matters to someone and on small steps that build a more meaningful life. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at emotional patterns that develop in close relationships and to help people change how they connect and respond.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lee-Anne works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. This happens collaboratively in early sessions and can be adjusted as work progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client speak face to face, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or moments when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
