About
My Journey
Hello! My name is Leonie (MSc, GMBPsS) and I am 23 years old. Being a young counsellor benefits me to help young people as I can understand the struggles they may be feeling. My aim is to encourage young people to recognise their thoughts and feelings and promote healthy ways of coping.
I believe that every individual, no matter their age, deserves a safe and supportive space to express themselves, work through difficult emotions, and feel empowered to grow. It’s my mission to help you feel heard, understood, and confident as you face the challenges in your life.

Why I Work With Young People
I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re a child trying to understand your emotions, a teen struggling with identity and school pressure, or a young adult navigating life’s transitions, it’s okay to feel uncertain. I’m here to help guide you through those challenges, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space to grow and heal.
I know that every person is unique, which is why I take a personalised approach to counselling. I aim to provide strategies that are tailored to each person’s needs, helping you build resilience, self-confidence, and a better understanding of yourself.
My Approach
In my sessions, I focus on building trust and creating a space where you feel safe to express yourself. My approach combines evidence-based therapies with a deep understanding of young people’s experiences. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, stress, family challenges, or anything else, I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to empower you to understand your emotions, develop coping strategies, and work toward a brighter, more balanced future.
Let’s Work Together
If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling better and finding the support you need, I’d love to help. I offer a no-pressure, free 30-minute consultation where we can talk about your goals and see if we’re a good fit.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey.
