Therapeutic Style & Approach
When you work with Leah, you can expect:
- A person-centred, empathetic space where your experiences are heard and validated, not judged
- Use of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based practices
- Collaborative goal-setting to suit your life, pace, and commitments, therapy that fits you, not a template
- Private, secure telehealth delivery, ideal for people living in regional, rural or remote areas
- Flexibility to accommodate complex lives, whether that’s shift work, family commitments, rural lifestyle, or changing seasons
Why Telehealth Works With Leah
Telehealth offers unique benefits, especially for people living outside major cities or juggling unpredictable schedules. These include increased access to care, flexibility in timing, privacy, and continuity when travel or local services are limited.
With Leah, telehealth means you can get consistent, stable, quality therapy without needing to travel, while still receiving evidence-based, engaging psychological support tailored to your life and context.
