My doctorate training specialised in cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioural and systemic theory and application meaning I have a broad skillset to draw on.
I have been lucky enough in my career to date to work with some incredibly inspiring and brave individuals who have been at a crossroads in their life. Sometimes making change felt frightening or impossible due to past beliefs, stuck patterns of behaviour or limiting thought processes. Others were struggling to move on after devastation, illness, loss or identity crisis. I believe it is a privilege to be able to guide those in need at these times due to the courage and vulnerability they show. They are asking from the heart for a new beginning - to break from the past, not feel scared by the future and live truly in the present.

I am passionate about the theories that I draw upon, I have studied the three main schools (humanistic-existential, psychodynamic and CBT) and more such as contemporary theories that utilise working with nervous system dynamics, creative working, and working somatically (with the body and felt sense) as my approach takes into consideration all aspects of the person.
I'm an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor- which means that I am trained in and draw from the three main schools of thought and tailor my approach to you; not applying any particular method but rather meeting you where you are, and going from there. As there is no one set way of being, I believe there is no one set way of working therapeutically with another, so our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to look at what brings you to counselling, any queries you may have, and to see how we 'fit' and how you feel about the prospect of beginning sessions with me.

Many people go through periods of times when they feel vulnerable, anxious, stressed, depressed or just unhappy. Sometimes these are triggered by obvious causes, like a breakup in a relationship, job loss or a bereavement, while at other times the underlying causes seem opaque, especially when life appears to be fulfilling and good.We carry around sadness, guilt, shame, pain, darkness, anger, despair and in some cases a sense of desperation. It is possible to feel relief, to let some of the pain go, to gain strength and confidence, have the ability to heal and grow so you can live a life without anxiety worry and horrible thoughts.

Through therapy, my clients begin to feel more present in their relationships, develop greater confidence and self-worth, and feel more in control of their emotions. Many notice the same difficulties appearing across different areas of life — conflict avoidance, fear of rejection, anxiety, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting others. For some, these patterns can be traced back to early family dynamics or losses that were never fully processed. Once these patterns are understood, it becomes possible to live in a way that feels more authentic, connected, and free.

I trained as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and following 23 years working in the NHS I have been working in private practice since 2013.
I work with clients of all ages. Many of my clients bring unconscious trauma to our sessions and we work together to help unravel the origins of the trauma. In my person centred approach, the client builds an understanding of how the trauma has impacted their life and affected the relationships with those around them. I endeavour to create a safe, non judgemental environment and I am conscious that the therapeutic space should offer conditions appropriate to the clients needs.

Hi, I'm Leigh, and I believe people usually come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because life has become overwhelming or difficult to carry alone. Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, anger, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties and feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental. Together we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, develop greater self-understanding, and begin finding ways forward that feel more manageable and empowering.

I offer Psychodynamic, DBT combined psychotherapy, systemic family therapy.
Welcome! My guess is that getting started can be pretty scary to talk to someone you don't know about things that make you feel uncomfortable, sad, angry, overjoyed or embarrassed, but i would like to reassure you that this process is here to help you grow. There are certain elements necessary in therapy to maintain a space of positivity, growth and healing, but you are not responsible for maintaining those elements - that is the job of the therapist - my job. It is imperative that we maintain a judgement free space that is challenging but comforting and be open about your experience as it unfolds.

I draw from humanistic and psychodynamic approaches including existential, gestalt and object relations.
A lot of the people I work with feel stuck; they are working hard but things do not seem to change or go the way they would like them to. I work with people who find life difficult, they want to feel better and are interested in living more balanced lives. Therapy with me can offer space to look at life differently, supported by a therapeutic relationship that can apply permanent positive change to your life.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
