This experience has given Leanne the opportunity to work with a wide range of presenting issues and seeing clients from a diverse background.

She has seen clients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship/marital problems, work/life balance, suicidal ideation and survivors of suicide, low self-esteem – and confidence – to health and identity issues and more.

Clients

Do you have a relationship issue? Do you or did you have a narcissistic parent? Is your parent overbearing and does not respect your boundaries? Do they lack empathy? Have you found yourself googling ‘narcissistic traits’ in search of understanding or answers? Are you questioning if you are in a healthy relationship?

What would it feel like to be more in control? How would you feel if you stopped the feeling of guilt? Imagine if you were able to have a healthy relationship with someone moving forward.

If this resonates with you – contact Leanne today.

Explore the Past

Leanne begins by helping clients explore their past experiences and attachment figures. This involves delving into childhood experiences, family dynamics, and early relationships to uncover hidden influences on their current thoughts and behaviours.

Uncover the Unconscious

Leanne guides clients in bringing unconscious thoughts and beliefs into conscious awareness. This process sheds light on underlying patterns and motivations that may be impacting their present-day life.

Embrace Your True Self

With a deeper understanding of their past and unconscious processes, clients can reframe their sense of self in a positive light. This newfound self-awareness empowers them to make healthier choices, develop better coping mechanisms, and move forward towards a brighter future as the person they want to be.
