About Leigh

​

​

First training as a Breathwork therapist in1992, I have over 30 years experience across multiple therapy modalities. 

​

I am particularly inspired to work with mission-oriented empaths: Those who have a deep sense of calling toward transformation, spiritual awakening, psychological growth and the actualising of meaningful goals and dreams... 

 

I also have a special interest in supporting those who have experienced complex/relational trauma (CPTSD) (especially from narcissistic abuse) and are on a journey of individuation or differentiation from unhealthy relationships, groupthink, patterns and cultural narratives. Such journeys may travel through some dark nights of the soul: periods of isolation, apparent failure, loneliness or a sense of untethering from anything that feels like home.

​

A therapist can only accompany a client as far as they themselves have travelled, and I have been on a committed journey of healing, embodied spiritual practice and trauma integration, through many dark nights...

​

 I am excited to accompany anyone who is courageously called to the Heroic Journey - the deep inner work of trauma healing.
