About me
Hi, I’m Leah. I’m an integrative counsellor and coach. A lot of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful and outwardly doing well, while privately feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or stuck. You may have spent years being told that you are strong, capable or resilient, whilst feeling very different on the inside. You may be navigating a major life change, experiencing burnout, or simply reaching a point where the way you have been doing things no longer feels sustainable.
I offer online counselling for adults, with 50-minute sessions. My work is friendly and constructive, creating a space where you can be yourself without having to perform, mask or have everything neatly explained. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients, people with unseen/hidden disabilities, bereavement and life-limiting illness.
I understand the particular pressures that can come with being the person everyone relies on, while privately struggling to keep everything together. Counselling with me isn't about giving you a list of things you “should” be doing. It is a space to stop, think and explore what is actually going on. You don't have to have the answers before you arrive.

- CPCAB Level 4 Course: Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
- ILM Level 7 certificate in Executive and Senior Level Coaching and Mentoring

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
To discuss your specific counselling and coaching needs please reach out to me by email. I offer a half-price first session as an opportunity for us to introduce ourselves, talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling, and for you to ask questions about me or how I work. Most importantly, it gives you a chance to get a feel for whether I might be the right counsellor for you. There is no pressure to continue.
