Having over 10 years of experience working within Psychology services makes me well placed to support people experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. I have been trained to work across the lifespan, and with a range of different approaches. If you are experiencing anxiety, low mood/depression, stress, or living with trauma I am able to work with you to build a strong understanding of what is keeping the difficulties going and how to move forwards. I can also support people with feelings of dissatisfaction or discontent to work towards living a fulfilled life in line with what is most important to them.

I have a heart for those who haven't felt heard or understood and I will treat what you share with the utmost care. I can offer you compassion where maybe you feel you haven't received it before, or maybe you feel like you don't deserve it because that internal voice tells you you are not good enough. I can help you discover the roots of that voice, weakening its influence over you and allowing you to build a new voice that is encouraging and supportive. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard, what you think and how you feel really is important to me.

My name is Leanne and I work as an integrative counsellor, which means that I am trained in different counselling models. Every person is unique, so it is important that I can establish a way of working that is suitable for each individual. Our first session together is an assessment, in order for you and I to ensure we feel comfortable together and to determine what your needs are and what type of support you require.

Have you ever wondered if this is as good as it gets? Do you struggle with self-esteem, anxiety or chronic pain? Are you worried about your relationship with your partner, your child, or your boss? Most of us wrestle with these problems at some point in our lives. You are not alone, and you have more power than you think. If you're living with loss, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain or illness you may be feeling isolated, sad, angry or frightened. This makes it more difficult than usual to cope with life's challenges. Emotional pain locked in the body can cause physical pain - I will help you identify triggers to reduce both.

Do you worry all the time? Are you scared of what other people think of you? Does your life feel exhausting and overwhelming? Maybe it's hard to put into words exactly what life is like for you? Perhaps it’s hard for you to say no when people ask you to do things even if you don't want to do them? Maybe this affects work and relationships and stops you going out or applying for that new job or just puts you under pressure the whole time. Perhaps you feel isolated and lonely because it's just too hard to connect with others. I wonder if all you want is to feel comfortable in your own skin? If this is you - I get it, I see you.

Anxiety once controlled my life, leaving me feeling powerless and uncertain. But through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I discovered how to break free. I learned to challenge negative thought patterns, regain control and build a life that aligned with my values and dreams. That transformation was so powerful, it inspired me to become a CBT therapist. Now, I’m here to help others navigate that same journey. Anxiety doesn’t have to define you or your life. Change is possible. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing my clients transform—leaving sessions feeling empowered, hopeful and equipped with the tools to overcome anxiety.

Regardless of your reasons for seeking counselling, your therapeutic journey is unique to you. I provide a safe, non judgemental space where we can explore any difficulties you are having in your life right now. We will also look back into your past, to try to understand patterns of behaviour that might be impacting your current life.   By exploring feelings and experiences and building self-awareness, we will work together to move towards a positive change for your future. My approach to counselling is psychodynamic which makes links from past experiences to present ways of feeling and relating to oneself and others.

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples. Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.
