Hi I'm Leanne
I'm a Counsellor, Art Therapist, Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner, and for more than 30 years I have been supporting women through the messy, challenging and sometimes overwhelming parts of life. I am passionate about supporting women to treat themselves with compassion and kindness
What you can expect when you come to see me is firstly to be heard in a safe and confidential space and at a pace that feels safe for you. Your sessions with me are focused on what you want to work on, this is grounded in my belief that you are the expert of your life.
I work with women experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, trauma, burnout, difficult life transitions, low self-worth and struggles with food, weight and body image. I’m also interested in what can sometimes get missed when we focus only on the problem, you as a whole person.
Talking is incredibly valuable, but sometimes talking alone isn’t enough. That’s why my work can also include creative expression, body-based approaches, mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). You never need to be “creative” or good at art to work this way. These are simply different ways of exploring what can be difficult to put into words.
A thread that runs through all of my work is self-compassion. Many women have spent years caring for everyone else, pushing through, criticising themselves or believing they should be coping better. I want our work together to offer something different, a space for curiosity rather than criticism, and for you to begin treating yourself with the same kindness you so readily offer others.
A little reminder, you don't have to be in crisis to come to counselling, sometimes you might simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or noticing the same patterns showing up again and again.
If any of this sounds like it might be what you are needing please feel free to reach out and book a free 20 minute phone or online chat.
I am a Level 2 member of The Australian Counselling Association.

Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT Tapping
Are you feeling stuck? Going through a challenging life transition? Or seeking clarity and direction in your career? I am passionate about supporting you through these life stages.
I have extensive experience and deep understanding of of the human experience from 20 plus years of experience working with individuals and staff in the community services sector and I now also offer EFT Tapping, a unique and transformative approach to healing.
EFT Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, combines traditional therapy with acupressure to address emotional and physical concerns. It's a powerful tool that empowers you to take control of your emotions and create positive change in your life.
I am also a Specialist Pyschosocial Direct Support Worker servicing the Central Coast NSW, through Michael Lott Psycho Social Support, specialising in assisting individuals with Psychosocial Issues, I have had the privilege of witnessing profound transformations in the lives of those I have supported.
A little about myself and my journey. With a wealth of experience working in the fields of Mental Health and Addictions, as well as a background in TAFE Teaching and training staff in these areas, I have acquired a diverse set of skills and knowledge to effectively address the unique needs of each individual. I finally understand, “If you love what you’re doing, it’s not work”.
I pride myself on providing personalised and recovery focused assistance tailored to meet the specific requirements of each participant. By offering a warm and nurturing environment, I strive to foster a sense of trust and understanding with those I support, creating a solid foundation for growth and progress.
If you have NDIS Psychosocial participants who could benefit from my style of Direct Support or simply wish to connect and learn more about the services I offer, I would be delighted to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me or give me a call, (I love a good chat and I’m addicted to problem solving).
Together, let's empower lives and create a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. I am always here to lend a listening ear and provide the support needed to make a meaningful difference.
Looking forward to connecting with you soon.
Supervision
We all know someone who has felt lost or stuck in their journey, uncertain about direction and unable to flourish.
I’m a clinical supervisor, recovery and career strategist, helping people who are disillusioned or lost to identify and pursue their passion. I’m especially passionate about seeing people excited to start their day. Inspired and engaged in what they do and feeling fulfilled by their contribution. Just for a moment, imagine what that would look like for you.
I have extensive experience in mental health, alcohol and other drugs, supporting staff, teaching and training and soon be an Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner.
I am a member of the Australian Clinical Supervision Association.
