More about Leah
- 4 years' experience

- AASW
I am a qualified therapist with a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. My therapeutic work has spanned diverse settings, including private practice, community mental health, and non-profits, where I have worked with individuals across the lifespan.
I offer a client-focused, nurturing, and holistic approach, fostering a safe space conducive to emotional exploration. I prioritise the therapeutic relationship and utilise evidence-based methodologies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual's needs and goals.
While skilled in addressing a broad spectrum of concerns, I have particular interest in supporting clients through trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, grief and bereavement, and navigating significant life transitions.
I acknowledge the courage it takes for individuals to seek support and take the first steps towards change, and welcomes the opportunity to connect with new clients on their journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
