Hi! I’m Leigh, a Certified Practicing Counsellor with a Masters degree from Morling College. I have several areas of interest as a clinician:

• Couple and relationship therapy: I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT). This modality is evidence-based and offers hope to couples struggling with ongoing conflict. EFCT offers far more than communication skills and conflict resolution techniques. We will address the root causes of relationship distress to provide lasting results and build the relationship you are both longing for.

• Chronic and complex conditions: My background is in integrative medicine. I am experienced in taking a holistic approach to chronic conditions such as auto-immunity, fatigue, burn-out, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, functional neurological disorders and medically unexplained symptoms.

• Sexual concerns: I support individuals and couples experiencing the common sexual concerns that often arise in relationships,  including painful penetration, low or absent desire, difficulty with orgasm, menopause-related changes, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and concerns about pornography use.  My approach explores the physical, psychological and relational factors that can contribute to sexualdifficulties, and allows me to work collaboratively with medical care where appropriate. My approach is holistic, respectful and evidence-informed. Alongside therapeutic support, I provide clear sex education that prioritises wellbeing, pleasure, communication and connection.

My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and deeply empathetic. My aim is to explore all aspects of your experience and come to truly understand what it is like to be you. Through this process, we will together discover the way forward through your challenges so that you can be supported to create the life your heart desires. I am available for sessions in person and online.
