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.

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 am very mindful of how difficult finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be and I offer a calm and compassionate approach, while we gain an understanding of your concerns. My primary therapeutic method is ‘psychodynamic’ but I draw on a variety of ‘models’ to help in whichever way is appropriate: These may include CBT or EFT. Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood the root causes of your concerns we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. This is a very much a joint effort where we work together to help you through the troublesome episode and out the other side.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
