Explore my compassionate approach
Essentially, I believe we are the expert in your own experience. Sometimes it can be helpful to have a safe and emotionally available person to process this experience with.
I’m a good listener, listening without judgement or interruption.
When I have something to offer, it comes authentically from me.
I say what I mean and I mean what I say…but I’m never mean when I say it.
I create the conditions, environment and relationship for you to feel safe enough to explore how you can continue to show up as you and for you.
This means working from your starting point, in that moment, on that day and at a pace that is helpful for you.
Parent of a fifteen-year old male
He is in such a better place now and his self-esteem is blossoming again
““I understand that your sessions with my son have finished now. However, I just wanted to send you an email with my thanks and gratitude for all your work and support with my son.
He spoke fondly of you and looked forward to your sessions each week. The work you have done with him hasn't gone unnoticed and I'm thankful for the time you have given him, helping him on his journey to better understand himself and how to manage and cope with certain situations. He is in such a better place now and his self-esteem is blossoming again.
I'm so incredibly proud of him, he's such a brilliant young lad with bucket loads of potential and I believe your help and support has certainly contributed towards others within the school environment to understand him better, along with him working hard to become and show his best self.
So, thank you so much for everything you have done, I know he'll always be grateful for your work and support - as am I!”
Adult female client
I feel I have really made progress in being kind to myself and listening to my needs
“It has changed my life, in more ways than I could have hoped. The trust I built with Lee was beyond my expectations, especially considering he is male and the sessions were online, factors that I was initially apprehensive about.
I have been able to open up about things I had hardly been able to mention to anybody else, which has helped considerably with diminishing the deeply rooted shame around these topics. Having dealt with the content of my flashbacks has helped them diminish in intensity.
Lee provided a therapeutic space where I felt I could share anything without judgement, where I would receive understanding and compassion. I really appreciated his active listening skills and his analytical contributions have been so valuable.
I feel I have really made progress in being kind to myself and listening to my needs. I feel more confident in who I am and my abilities, more aligned with myself than I did before starting counselling.
I’m eternally grateful for what counselling has brought to me and the opportunities it has created”.
Parent of of a thirteen-year old male and ten-year old female
It brings immense peace of mind that they have that one consistent person that will listen to them with no judgement anytime they want to talk
“Being abandoned by his father and struggling with the expectations placed on him at school and then it rolling into home life meant I had a really angry teenager and a hostile home environment. with no support from the system I didn’t know where else to turn. Lee was recommended to me so I made contact. He very approachable. professional, polite, understanding and knowledgeable.
My son has since been diagnosed with ADHD and Lee has been an absolute god send, not only with my son but with me also. He has helped and advised me through the process of understanding my son more, his condition, building better relationships at home and he is also very knowledgeable about the education system and has given me advice to try and help me get support from school.
My daughter who is 10 years of age has also encountered some challenges and now also has sessions with Lee, again Lee was very supportive to me helping me navigate those challenges. She very much looks forward to the creative art sessions they have together, she’s very reluctant to let him have a week off 😂😂
In terms of the session content I cannot comment as Lee keeps that trusting relationship between the children directly but I do know that both children always leave the sessions with a calm nature about them and thoroughly enjoy them. He interacts with my son through sport and my daughter through art. It brings immense peace of mind that they have that one consistent person that will listen to them with no judgement anytime they want to talk. That peace of mind is invaluable
Lee supports my whole family unit and I cannot recommend him enough”.
