About me
I offer sessions nationally online via Zoom video conferencing.
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 online practice with national coverage using Zoom video conferencing.
I work in an integrative way, which means that I work in a bespoke, holistic manner, using the modalities and 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.
My therapeutic approach is warm, open, and deeply relational. I believe in showing up as my authentic self, fostering a genuine connection built on trust and transparency. The relationship between therapist and client is at the core of the 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.

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.
