Meet Leah
Self-discovery
I am a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor, an ICF ACC-accredited coach, and a yoga teacher. I work with professionals, adults, and young people who are ready to step beyond fear, reconnect with their self-worth, and build a life of depth and meaning.
Self-awareness and growth begin here
The voice of the inner critic can dominate the brain’s pathways, narrowing perspective and clouding clarity. Yet the same neural networks that fuel doubt can, with the right practices, be rewired towards self-belief and purpose. In our work together, I help you uncover your values and strengths, and use them as guiding markers towards direction and fulfilment. My role is not only to support but to actively guide you in translating insight into meaningful action.
A holistic approach to personal development
Growth does not sit in isolation; it is shaped by the whole system of mind and body. I integrate acceptance and commitment therapy, positive psychology, and mindfulness into my practice because each activates distinct neural processes: attention, emotional regulation, and meaning-making. By meeting you exactly where you are, we create a foundation for neuroplasticity, allowing new patterns of resilience and self-leadership to emerge.
Trusting the process – Embracing your inner wisdom
Every individual carries innate resourcefulness. One of the most powerful tools for change is interoception, the ability to sense and interpret signals from within the body. In our sessions, your inner knowledge is central. Together, we build a respectful partnership: your lived experience shaping the journey, and my guidance providing the structure and tools to harness it fully.
A journey shaped by meaning
This is not simply a process of support, but a transformative practice with ripple effects across leadership, relationships, and wellbeing. Whether your focus is building self-worth, clarifying your path, or embarking on a deeper journey of self-discovery, I walk alongside you, equipping you with practices that strengthen attention, regulate stress, and cultivate resilience.
Stabilise was created from both purpose and love. It is a tribute to my mother, whose resilience and compassion are imprinted in my neural circuits and in the way I connect with others. The qualities she lived by, strength, care, and presence, are now embedded in my practice. Each session carries her legacy forward, offering you a space for clarity, grounding, and growth.
Movement with Yoga & Therapy
I believe that healing is not just about what happens in your mind, it's an embodied experience. The body holds stories, emotions, and patterns, often locked deep within. Through movement, particularly yoga, we have the power to unlock those stories, allowing us to face and release what no longer serves us. Our bodies carry the imprints of trauma and unprocessed emotions. By bringing awareness to how we move and where we hold tension, we can begin to heal at a cellular level. Yoga offers a space to connect with these parts of ourselves, gently guiding us through stored pain and helping us feel grounded in the present. In the words of Eckhart Tolle, movement becomes a meditation, a doorway into the Now. When we tune into the breath, align with each posture, and listen to the wisdom of the body, we break free from the weight of the past and the worries of the future. It is a practice of being, a practice of presence. Vulnerability is at the heart of our journey toward healing. Through the integration of yoga and therapy, we create a brave space to explore emotions with curiosity rather than judgment. Each movement becomes an act of courage, a way to show up fully, even when it’s uncomfortable. Join me as we combine the power of yoga and therapy, a journey into your deepest self, where movement, mindfulness, and healing converge.

Dynamic counselling methods
We explore a spectrum of psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioural counselling approaches. Each method brings unique principles and techniques to the table, offering a rich tapestry of tools. My role as your counsellor is to skillfully tailor these diverse methods to meet your individual needs, ensuring a bespoke and deeply personal counselling experience.

Together, we'll pave a path towards sustainable results and transformative change.

At the heart of my practice lies a deep commitment to empowering you to reach your full potential. By blending the best of both coaching and counselling, I offer a holistic approach to personal development. This integrated method ensures a flexible and comprehensive experience uniquely tailored to each individual I work with. Whether you're seeking to achieve specific goals or unlock your inner potential, this combined approach is designed to support you at every step in your journey of self-discovery and growth.
Benefits
Personal growth & development
The journey we embark on together is not just about change—it’s about deep transformation. My approach is designed to help you cultivate profound self-awareness, unlocking the layers of your being that have been hidden, perhaps even from yourself.
Healing begins when we turn inward to face the truths we’ve been carrying, both conscious and unconscious. We untangle old wounds and limiting beliefs through compassionate exploration, creating space for your true self to emerge. This isn’t just personal growth; it’s the shedding of what no longer serves you, allowing you to step into your full potential.
True transformation happens in the present moment. In our work together, we focus on cultivating presence, being fully here with your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This presence allows you to break free from the grip of past conditioning and embrace the infinite possibilities that exist in the now.
Relationship & couples dynamics
Relationships are where our deepest wounds and greatest potential for healing meet. When conflict arises, it is not a sign of failure but an invitation to see, understand, and heal.
Unresolved pain doesn’t stay buried; it echoes in our reactions, our defences, and the ways we pull away or fight for connection. Together, we move beyond blame, beyond patterns of protection, into the truth beneath: the longing to be seen, valued, and safe with each other.
Presence is the foundation of connection. When we slow down, attune, and step out of old narratives, we create space for something new. Without presence, we repeat the past. With presence, we meet each other as we are, beyond roles, beyond old wounds, in the raw and real experience of love.
Vulnerability is not weakness; it is the birthplace of intimacy. In our work, we shift from self-protection to self-revelation, from walls to bridges. This is how love deepens, not by avoiding pain but by moving through it, together.
Healing is not about fixing each other; it’s about witnessing, understanding, and shifting together. When we explore the parts of ourselves that feel hurt, defensive, or unseen, we open the door to a deeper connection. This is not just about resolving conflict, it’s about learning to stand in it differently, honour each other’s truths, and build a relationship where both partners feel truly met.
Love is not static. It grows when we do. And the deepest transformation begins when we choose to see each other fully, beyond fear, beyond conditioning, beyond the past.
Build mental & emotional awareness
The focus is on helping you develop genuine resilience, the ability to navigate life’s challenges with steadiness and clarity. Together, we work on strengthening your mental and emotional foundation, providing you with the tools to respond rather than react to whatever comes your way.
This journey isn’t about bypassing difficulties but rather learning how to face them with presence and awareness. Through practical strategies and mindful techniques, you’ll build a mindset that helps you stay grounded, even when life feels overwhelming. Resilience becomes something you carry within, not something you have to search for in moments of stress.
My approach is rooted in fostering self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and inner strength. By integrating these practices into your everyday life, you’ll be equipped to handle life's complexities with greater ease and a deeper sense of calm.
This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating sustainable change that supports your mental health and emotional well-being, enabling you to face life with confidence, strength, and clarity.

During the first session with Leah, I knew she was different to other counsellors I’d seen previously. Leah is supportive, approachable and flexible in her approach. I always feel truly heard and seen in each session. I also tried Yin Yoga and her guidance and patience is extremely helpful!

Working with Leah is a breath of fresh air. She is real, honest and kind in conversation, while holding a trusting space for what is true to emerge. I've walked into sessions feeling flustered, confused or frustrated about a situation, and through a process of enquiry, come out with greater clarity, new perspectives and more compassion towards myself and others involved. Most importantly the insights Leah reflects back help me recognising my accountability, and inspires a sense of empowerment - so I can take tangible next steps with integrity and more grace. Her work as a coach is a testiment to her courage and dedication in life. 10/10, and will be back for more sessions. Thanks so much for being such a legend!
