About Me
Thank you for coming to look at my website. I appreciate what a huge step reaching out can be and the bravery that it takes to do so.
​
My name is Leanne and I am an BACP accredited counselling psychotherapist. I offer a warm, safe and open space for you to talk about anything that may be troubling you.
I decided to become a counselling psychotherapist because I felt there was not enough mental health provision for primary aged children, but as my training developed I felt a huge connection to other areas of struggle such as bereavement and anger management among other issues.
As well as my private practice, I work with clients through Employee Assistance Programmes, working with anxiety, depression work stress and bereavement. I am a recognised therapist with some health insurance companies, meaning I can take on their members as clients. I am also an accredited practitioner with The Foundation for Infant Loss Training.
Outside of counselling and psychotherapy, I facilitate a personal development programme within the person-centred counselling diploma course at my local college. Helping the students to take an inward look at their emotional responses and how they relate to others within their group and also outside in their personal lives.
I am dedicated to my own continuing professional development, attending workshops and training courses. I attend regular supervision and I maintain a good balance of self care.
