I offer a kind, compassionate, and nonjudgemental space for you to come in and talk about whatever is on your mind, whether it's things that happened a long time ago or something that's happened this past week. I will work to ensure that you feel safe to explore whatever is on your mind, knowing that sometimes you may process difficult memories or situations quickly, or it might take some time. Our work together will happen in the way that feels right to you, and I will support you as we move forward.

Taking that first step to seek support from a therapist can be a daunting experience and many people can feel anxious discussing their struggles. Experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, anger and stress or suffering from a constant low mood, can often lead to feeling bewildered and alone. So my aim is to provide a safe, warm and caring space in which together we can explore your struggles and you can gain a better understanding of yourself and your feelings, Together we can discover a way forward to a happier, calmer place, enabling you to build new beginnings.

Perhaps your past experiences are standing in the way of you leading the life you want. I offer a safe supportive space to talk through your problems, help you to make sense of things, uncover unconscious beliefs that may have been holding you back and work through difficult emotions.

Do you have a relationship issue? Do or did you have a narcissistic parent? Is your parent overbearing and does not respect your boundaries? Do they lack empathy? Have you googled ‘narcissistic traits’ for understanding or answers? So, what would it feel like to be more in control? How would you feel if you stopped the feeling of guilt? Imagine if you were able to have a healthy relationship moving forward? Working with Leanne would involve looking at your past thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We would then reflect and challenge them to create clarity and understanding to move forward to a brighter you and your future.

With over 15 years' experience as a counsellor, I can offer a calm, safe space for you to explore your feelings and begin to make changes toward the life you would like.

Hello and a warm welcome, I'm really pleased you're here. Before I begin, I need you to know that however you feel right now, you deserve to feel better. People I have helped tell me they feel anxious but they’re not sure why. They feel like they’re unlovable, often ‘wearing a mask’, and feel like they’re going mad. If you feel the same, I assure you, you are not going mad. Sometimes these feelings can arise from unresolved trauma, (something I can personally relate to) figuring this out is something I will guide you through in therapy.

Are you overwhelmed by emotions and thoughts that you just can’t seem to control? Are you going through something that you feel like you can't manage alone? Do you feel stuck in a rut and are unsure how to get out or where to even start? I can help you find the answer to these questions and any others you may have. I offer you a safe, compassionate, culturally sensitive space to express and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I am able to help you to become the person you want to be.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working in a person-centred way. This means that no session is approached with a set agenda.

I am based in Stoke-on-Trent for anybody wanting in-person sessions; however, I also offer online sessions.

Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or just completely hopeless at times. But you're not alone. Talking with an impartial person can help manage these feelings.
