Lea believes therapy can be fun and  engaging and by focusing on individual strengths and resources clients can learn to adapt new ways of thinking, and address the issues they are experiencing. Lea offers a safe, non – judgmental space allowing all clients to be seen, heard and recognized as 

people beyond the challenges they are facing.    

   Lea works with a variety of conditions including anxiety, anger, panic attacks, emotional regulation, unwanted thought patterns, mild  depression, grief, low self-esteem, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviours, pain, insomnia, mild trauma and smoking cessation.
