You may be struggling at the moment with relationships or life in general. Perhaps you feel confused about yourself and the other - unsure about whether you are being reasonable or whether it is ok to feel upset or angry. You may put on a mask when dealing with others, terrified of being seen as your authentic self. Perhaps you like people but find them draining after a while. Or you may have experienced abuse, verbal abuse, or bullying in either your family of origin, your workplace or your romantic relationships. Or you may just have a hunch that something's not right or feel that there is something wrong with you.

I have over 30 years' experience in both educational settings and the NHS working with varying age groups and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationships, trauma/ PTSD, bi-polar, Autism and ADHD to name but a few.
Life can be unpredictable and some experiences can cause reactions we don’t fully understand. Counselling can help gain relief and clarity, helping you to find a healthier way forward. Hearing your thoughts and feelings out loud, in the presence of a trained professional can bring about shifts in awareness and perception. Facing your concerns or fears can feel empowering, helping you to feel more in control. My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming safe environment where together we can explore any worries, problems or issues that are causing you any distress, sadness or anxiety.

I am Leon Day, an Integrative Counsellor based in the coastal town of Lowestoft, Suffolk. I offer face‑to‑face counselling, Walk and Talk therapy, the Rewind Technique and online sessions for adults who want a calm, grounded space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over a decade working in the NHS as a Mental Health Nurse. Those years shaped the way I work today — steady, compassionate, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to reach out for support.
In 2021, I retrained as an Integrative Counsellor at Waverley Abbey College and became a registered member of the ACC.

Hello and welcome. I understand it can be daunting to seek the support of a stranger, and that many factors may have led you to do so. We can all feel overwhelmed, confused, distressed, lonely or hurt at times; perhaps we sense that something doesn’t feel “right”, or that the challenges life throws at us are too great to cope with.

I work with adults who have ADHD or are wondering whether ADHD may explain the challenges they've experienced throughout life. Many have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or different from others. Some have recently received a diagnosis, while others are only just beginning to explore the possibility that ADHD may be part of their story. Many clients come to me after years of struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship difficulties, or feeling that life is harder than it should be. Often, they've developed coping strategies that helped them get through day-to-day life but no longer serve them.

Autism Counsellors
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
