About me
I offer face to face sessions from my offices in Bristol City Centre and Almondsbury, South Gloucestershire and nationally online via Zoom video conferencing. For clinical supervision please see my supervisor profile linked on this page.
How Counselling Can Help:
We can all experience moments where we feel stuck and unsure of how to break free from repeating patterns or ongoing struggles. Many of my clients come to me wanting to explore these challenges, gain insight and awareness, and take meaningful steps towards changing how they feel in their lives. I support clients with many different needs, working with adults to provide relief from issues such as
-Anxiety and panic attacks
- Self-worth and self-esteem struggles
- PTSD
- OCD
- Sadness and low mood
- Relational issues
-Trauma and abuse
- Grief and loss
- Burnout and work based stress
- Social withdrawal and anxiety.
- I have lived experience and work with clients exploring racial identity and LGBTQIA+ / GSRD topics. I also work with Talk To The Rainbow with LGBTQIA+ / GSRD identifying individuals.
About counselling with Leila -
I have a busy practice, both face to face in Bristol city centre and Almondsbury, Bristol as well as online with national coverage using Zoom video conferencing..
I work in an integrative way, which means that I am trained in different modalities and work in a bespoke, holistic manner, using the theories that fit with your needs.
We may make links to the past, looking at how this affects patterns and behaviour today, as it is the here and now that I find beneficial to create real, lasting change. I also offer creative ways of working, which can be particularly helpful when words feel difficult and to explore unconscious feelings.
I am passionate about supporting you to work through challenges that you bring and my therapeutic approach is warm, open, and deeply relational. I believe in showing up as my authentic self and fostering a genuine connection built on trust and transparency. The relationship between therapist and client is at the core of my work, and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and comfortable is my priority.
How to get in contact:
Making the decision to begin therapy is a courageous step. Please reach out by telephone or email and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation to get a sense of what brings you to counselling, give you the opportunity to ask any questions and to see how we work together and if you'd like to go ahead with more sessions.
