About me

My practice
Hello, I am Leigh, and I offer professional counselling sessions for you to talk through what is on your mind, recognise what you are feeling and identify what may be influencing your everyday life that impacts your wellbeing.

I provide a confidential space for you to discuss stressful life situations that you experience where you may feel overwhelmed and stuck, without a vision for resolve or peace of the issue you are faced with.

I am able to assist you in recognising your strengths, abilities and values, and understand the benefits achieved through self-regulation and self-care for your wellbeing.

I work in a relational and holistic style with an Eclectic and Integrative Therapy approach by tapping into a number of evidence-based modalities to best suit your needs.

My focus is on supporting people with the mental and emotional aspects of their wellbeing, while also fostering self-care and resilience to assist in managing their daily lives.
