About Leah

Leah Murphy is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports clients with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, sleep, eating, parenting, career concerns, ADHD and bipolar disorder. Leah works with people who are LGBT and with a wide range of life changes and losses.

With 21 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she offers a calm and non-judgemental space. Leah encourages clear conversation about feelings and thoughts. She focuses on practical steps as well as talking things through.

Her style is warm and client-centred. Leah listens first, then helps people decide on priorities. She adapts tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and dialectical skills where these match a person’s needs.

Leah has worked across many situations linked to attachment, adoption and foster care, ageing concerns, chronic illness and caregiver strain. She draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build longer term coping skills.

People find Leah approachable and direct. She encourages small, achievable changes alongside deeper reflection. If you are considering therapy, she asks a few questions to match your goals and then plans the next steps together.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy asks the therapist to follow the person’s lead. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps people name their priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions often include straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will discuss goals, try techniques and adapt the plan to what feels most useful. The decision about methods is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life. Please confirm which session formats Leah currently offers before booking. Once you know the available options you can choose what suits your routine, whether that means shorter check-ins, sessions that do not require video, or meetings that remove travel time. Many people find remote work helps them keep continuity of care while juggling work, family and other commitments.
