How Leigh-Anne works
Her background includes work in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and outreach with people experiencing homelessness. Those roles shaped how she listens and responds when someone is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In sessions she focuses on clear, usable skills and steady support.
She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness to reduce reactivity. She also uses client-centered conversation to follow the person’s lead and meet immediate needs. Leigh-Anne works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and reconnect to a sense of purpose and self-love. Her style is practical, calm, and goal-focused. People who choose her often want straightforward tools and an understanding listener.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice repeating hurts and build safer ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during difficult moments.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns and goals, then suggest one or a mix of approaches. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or someone with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter updates, tracking progress between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity across weeks.
