Anxiety , Relationships (excluding Couples Therapy) Trauma and depression
My goal is to help and support you to develop healthy coping strategies, become more self-aware and experience personal growth. I offer tailor-made therapy that is as individual and unique as you are. Therapy shouldn't just benefit you whilst in session but continue to support you outside of the sessions too. This is achieved by using a combination of talking therapy, worksheets and practical exercises. You can always call me if you are struggling in between sessions. Do you invest more time, love and attention in others than yourself? Then perhaps it is time for you to invest in yourself.

I work with clients across a variety of needs, including trauma, life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, and more.
Hello! My name is Leigh and I am licensed psychotherapist. As a creative art therapist, I use artmaking to help my clients explore their feelings and experiences through artmaking. I work with older teens and adults, and approach my practice from a trauma-informed lense.
Art therapy is not an art class and you do not need to be "good at art." Art therapy can include visual artmaking, music, poetry, movement, guided mediation, and other forms of imaginal and creative process. The focus of art therapy is on the process of making, not the product. I will work with you to put you at ease - no experience necessary!

Struggles with anger, child sexual abuse, self harm, anxiety, depression, sexual violence and domestic abuse, addictions, self esteem, cultural issues, identity issues, sexuality issues, eating issues and self confidence, PTSD and trauma.
I offer up a safe, non judgemental space where you as the client are placed at the centre of the relationship and strive to offer up a partnership where we work towards finding your voice and own solutions. Alongside 'talking therapy' I offer drawing, visualisations, metaphor, character work and the use of sand tray - when words or feelings cant be found.

I work with anxiety disorders (including panic, phobia, stress, OCD), PTSD, depression, and I have a keen interest in ASD.
As we talk, I look for links and patterns to understand the issues, holding in mind theory on how humans think, feel, behave and relate. My experience is mainly adult mental health, including complex and enduring problems, and ASD. I use CBT, CFT and EMDR (fully trained), but I tend to bring in what works e.g. DBT, Systemic, Attachment, Psychodynamic.
