Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You constantly worry about what other people think of you.
  • You are frightened of getting things wrong, and put yourself under relentless pressure to please everyone.
  • You doubt yourself, even when there is real evidence you are doing well.
  • You hide parts of who you are, because some part of you believes you are not quite good enough.
None of these are flaws in your character. They grow out of a negative view of yourself that you most likely learned a long time ago, and they can leave you exhausted, anxious, on edge or low. This is exactly the work we do together, and it is work that lasts.

How the work goes

So how do we actually change any of this? We start with the why. I teach you how your mind works and why you have learned to treat yourself the way you do. Once the why makes sense — and it will — we move to the how: the practical CBT tools that quieten the symptoms and hand you back control.

When you begin, we start by looking honestly at what you are struggling with right now. From there we set your goals together and build a plan that fits you and your life. Then we do the work side by side. You are never handed a worksheet and left to get on with it alone.

My purpose is simple: to help you become your own therapist, so the changes we make together stay with you long after our sessions end.

What we can work on together

Wherever you are starting from, these are the things people most often come to me to change.

  • Feeling unworthy, or somehow unlovable
  • The constant sense of never being good enough
  • The relentless, impossible standards you set yourself
  • The fear of making mistakes
  • Learning to say "no" without the guilt
  • Building real confidence and self-belief
  • Putting your own needs first without feeling selfish
  • Swapping self-criticism for self-compassion
  • Getting on top of constant worry
  • Breaking the avoidance that keeps you stuck
  • Going after what you want without the fear of failing
  • Caring less about other people's opinions of you
  • Building healthier, easier relationships
  • Feeling unstuck, and able to move forward again

Booking your sessions

Every session is £100 — online or face to face in Northwich.

Most people begin with a free phone consultation, so we can talk through what you are struggling with and make sure I am the right fit for you before you commit to anything. There is no pressure and no obligation, either way.

When you are ready to begin, we will find a time that works and book your first session together.

I've lived with anxiety all my life and spent 28 years on Prozac, but through Leanne's patience, understanding and steady guidance I've reached a place I never imagined. I'm now not taking any medication and stepping forward into a new life, with a clear understanding of where my anxiety began. — Paul, five star Google review

All it takes is the first step.

Reaching out is the hardest part. Everything after that, we do together, and you will not be doing it alone.
