About Leanne

I know what it feels like to move through the world feeling like you don't quite fit — not because something is wrong with you, but because the world wasn't designed with your kind of mind in it. I get it, because I've lived it.

I'm Leanne, an integrative creative psychotherapist based in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire, working with clients online across the UK. I'm also AuDHD — something I discovered about myself while walking alongside my son through his own diagnostic pathway. That journey cracked everything open. Suddenly, so much of my own life made sense. And it completely transformed how I work with the people who come to me.

My lived experience goes beyond diagnosis. I understand school anxiety and school trauma from the inside out. I know the weight of watching your child struggle in a system that wasn't built for them. I've navigated elective home education, sat with the grief and relief of that decision, and found my way through. I understand demand avoidance — not as a behaviour to manage, but as a nervous system trying its best to stay safe.

I hold an MSc in Creative Psychotherapy, a PGCert in Advanced Counselling Skills in a Humanistic Approach, a Level 5 in Child Development, and I'm a a Workplace Trainer on the Anna Freud & NHS England National Autistic Trainer Programme. I'm registered with the NCPS. But honestly, my most important qualification is lived experience — and that's what shapes everything about how I work.

My approach to therapy is integrative and creative — which means I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. We might use mark making, music, sounds, movement, storytelling, or simply talking. We go at your pace. We follow what feels useful. And above all, I'll never ask you to be anything other than exactly who you are.

Therapy with me isn't about fixing you. It's about understanding yourself so deeply that the world starts to feel a little more navigable.
