About me

My practice
I’m Leanne, the therapist behind Beyond the Couch Therapy. My work has been shaped by over 20 years’ experience across healthcare, including nursing and midwifery, where I supported individuals and families through times of profound vulnerability, transition, and change. These experiences deepened my understanding of the emotional, relational, and systemic dimensions of human experience, and drew me toward psychotherapy as a space for reflective exploration and integration.

My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is a relational and collaborative process, rather than a set of techniques or quick solutions. I work integratively, with Gestalt therapy as my primary modality, informed by psychodynamic, person-centred, and CBT perspectives. This allows therapy to remain responsive to your needs, guided by what emerges as meaningful for you.

My work is trauma-informed and neuroaffirming, attentive to differences in emotional, cognitive, and embodied experience. I support adults aged 18+ and have experience in supporting clients who present with a wide range of difficulties including, but not limited to, trauma, PTSD, abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, or neglect), neurodivergence, pre- and postnatal depression, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapist is essential, that’s why my services begin with a FREE 20-minute introductory consultation, giving us a chance to connect, ask questions, and decide whether to proceed with ongoing therapy.
