How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Leigh uses a Person Centred approach which focuses on careful listening and building a trusting working relationship. This approach helps people talk through feelings such as grief, low self-esteem and ongoing anxiety. She also draws on trauma-informed practices that pay attention to past harm and how it affects daily life; these practices are used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Leigh explores a client's goals, preferences and personal history and then suggests techniques that may help. The choice of method is decided collaboratively and can change as needs and goals evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them specifically. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments, and it can reduce the time spent travelling. Some online options also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to use audio-only sessions when that is more practical. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques so therapy fits into a person's everyday life without requiring large schedule changes.
