I work with adults and children aged 12 and over.
Note: I currently only have online sessions available. You may have arrived here because someone has suggested counselling to help you with a difficulty you are experiencing. You may be looking on behalf of a loved one. A health professional may have recommended counselling or perhaps you are feeling lost in your life and wonder if talking therapy might be the answer. Whatever the reason, I will endeavour to help you make the best decision for you and if you choose to enter into counselling with me I will help you to overcome the distress you are currently experiencing.

I believe everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life's difficulties, and I love working with children, teens, families and couples. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach, assisting and supporting you to be the author of your own life. I further believe the therapeutic relationship should be one of authenticity and collaboration that feels safe and supportive. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviours, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and end-of-life/ terminal diagnosis related challenges.

I work with all forms of difference sensitively in the room, and specialise working with adults and children who are neurodivergent.
Hello, I'm Leah and thank you for taking time to read my profile. From past experience I know it can be hard reaching out for help, but whether you are experiencing a crisis, traumatic event, or a recurring difficulty, it can be helpful to get support rather than struggling on your own.

I work with clients in an integrative way, this may include looking at your past and present situations. Working together at your own pace, we can find ways to further understand yourself and your potential.

Hi my name is Wendy and I understand it can be difficult to approach someone for support especially if you are feeling overwhelmed with emotions . We all face challenges in life, some of which we can easily manage while others we find ourselves struggling with and needing greater support. No matter what difficulties you are having or how large or small it feels, I can offer you the time and place for you to explore your feelings and emotions, to find acceptance and understanding in a trusted relationship. At a pace to suit you we can work together in making the changes in your life that can help you feel more in control and at ease

When your child's behaviour is challenging, being a parent can feel incredibly isolating and challenging.
Does your child challenge you? Not in the ways that others might think... Somehow their behaviour is just... different! But in ways that only you understand. Perhaps your child runs away, doesn't listen, spits, shouts, smears or has frequent "meltdowns". Or perhaps you suspect your child has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed. No matter what is underlying your child's challenging behaviour, as parent myself, I want to help you reduce the behaviours so that your child can achieve their full potential!
