Leah is a master’s student in Counselling Psychology with over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, specializing in supporting pre- and postnatal clients as well as individuals living with chronic health conditions.
 
Drawing on her extensive healthcare background, Leah brings a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and environment to her counselling work. Her nursing career has allowed her to work closely with individuals and families during some of life’s most significant and vulnerable moments—whether welcoming a new baby, adjusting to parenthood, or navigating the challenges of long-term illness. This experience has honed her ability to listen with empathy, communicate with clarity, and provide care that respects each person’s unique circumstances.
​
In her counselling practice, Leah adopts a holistic biopsychosocial perspective, recognizing that emotional well-being is influenced by physical health, social connections, cultural context, and personal history. She integrates evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a compassionate, client-centred style, creating a safe and supportive space for growth and self-discovery.
​
Leah is especially passionate about working with clients experiencing life transitions, family or relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and the emotional impacts of health changes. She believes in empowering individuals to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a sense of meaning in their lives.
 
With her combined expertise in health and psychology, Leah bridges the gap between physical and emotional care—helping clients achieve greater balance, self-awareness, and overall well-being.
