About Leah
Leah Murphy is a counsellor who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting challenges and major life changes. Leah has worked in the field for over two decades and brings steady, experienced care to sessions.
She creates an open atmosphere where clients can speak freely and be heard without judgement. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Leah listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Her work draws on client-centred principles to keep the person's experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural approaches to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. For those affected by trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused ideas to pace discussions and address distressing memories carefully.
Leah has 21 years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her UK background includes supporting people through bereavement, relationship difficulties, bipolar mood challenges and ADHD-related concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and she is open to international clients. The initial step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the times available. Leah encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Leah draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person’s own goals and experience. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which can suit stress, relationship issues and self-esteem work.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers straightforward techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leah will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. Therapy is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family commitments and less travel time to appointments. If you prefer a shorter check-in or a session that does not require video, check the current session options before booking. Confirming which formats are offered helps make sessions fit into your everyday life.
