Mary Leonard

Fridays in-person 8am-4pm.

Mon/Tues/Thurs evenings online/telephone sessions 5-9pm.

From January 2005 Tues in-person from 5-9pm

I work from a wholistic perspective, seeing my role of counsellor as someone who listens, observes, speaks truthfully, challenges when necessary, and encourages my clients to do the same!

I have a post graduate degree in Human Relations and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which means I welcome all topics of conversation that a person brings to therapy as an opportunity to learn more about their particular experience, relationships and unconscious motivations.

Counselling was not my first career so I also have a breadth of life experience from which to draw.

My practice is open to anyone aged 16 and over from all backgrounds and abilities.

As a relationship-based counsellor I also work with couples and intergenerational dynamics i.e. parents and children.

Currently I also work in the homeless sector where I offer counselling to people affected by homelessness as well as examining the relationship between work and the individual with particular focus on mental wellbeing, stress and anxiety.

I have PVG clearance to work with children and adults.

Initial sessions are charged at the usual rate but are offered without obligation. These sessions are an opportunity for us to see if we can work together in a meaningful way.

Should you feel I am not able to offer what you are looking for in a therapist, or if I feel my competence is not the best fit for your requirements, I strongly encourage open and honest discussion around this and will do my best to provide referral to another service if requested.
