About me and my therapy practice
My name is Leila and I am a qualified counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist with extensive experience of dealing with a range of complex and diverse issues. I am here to support you by offering a warm, empathic, non-judgemental space in which you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe that we all have the capacity to create our own positive solutions so rather than impose solutions I will provide a safe space for you to explore options, gain self-awareness and new perspectives. This will help you in developing positive strategies and give you the tools to implement positive change in your life.
Sometimes it can be difficult to talk to friends and family about how you're truly feeling which can leave us holding onto unwanted feelings and emotions. Holding onto these emotions can have a huge impact on our daily lives, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope.
Counselling provides a safe, confidential environment where you can explore any issues, feeling and emotions without the fear of judgment. You may come to your first session with a specific goal or you may come not really knowing what the issue is or how counselling can help. Regardless of your circumstances we can work together at your pace to establish your needs and get you to where you want to be.
