Leila Hearn

I offer online sessions nationally as well as face to face sessions locally from the Almondsbury, Bristol area.

I work mainly during weekdays but do have limited early evening sessions.  

Hello, I am an integrative counsellor and I work with an array of different needs, working with individuals to provide relief from many different presenting issues such as - 

-Anxiety and panic attacks

- PTSD  

- OCD 

- Sadness and low mood

- Relational issues

-Trauma and abuse

- Grief and loss

- Burnout and work based stress

- Social withdrawal and anxiety. 

- I have lived experience and work with clients exploring mixed race racial identity and also LGBTQIA+ / GSRD topics. I also work with Talk To The Rainbow with LGBTQIA+ / GSRD identifying individuals. 

How I work: 

I work in an integrative way, which means that I work in a bespoke, holistic manner, using the modalities and theories that fit with your needs. These theories may include techniques such as CBT, Person-centred therapy, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, although I feel that it's the therapeutic relationship that is most important. 

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore what's going on for you, build self-awareness and understand yourself better. We may make links to the past, looking at how this affects patterns and behaviour today as it is the here and now that I find beneficial to create real, lasting change. 

Training and Experience - 

I have an advanced diploma in Integrative counselling and psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the BACP. 

I have worked with the NHS for the last 2 years, offering counselling to hospital staff. 

I work with Talk to the Rainbow with LGBTQIA+ individuals. 

Please reach out by text or email. I will aim to get back to you as soon as possible.  I usually offer an initial free 15 minute telephone consultation. This time is for us to discuss your reasons for counselling, any concerns you may have and to see how we work together and if you'd like to go ahead with more sessions. 

If you do decide you'd like to go ahead with counselling, sessions will typically be weekly at the same time and last for 50 minutes.
