Everything Leigh lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Leigh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on listening and helping people make sense of difficult experiences. Person-centred work emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client's priorities guide the sessions; this helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Trauma-focused approaches look at how past hurt affects current feelings and reactions and aim to reduce distress by building coping skills and understanding triggers.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Leigh will work with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the way they work if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people see and hear their counsellor for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a visual call is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from different locations.
