About Leo
He has six years' experience working in the NHS, local charities and his own practice. That background means he has spoken with many people about trauma, addictions and the pressures of being a new parent. He also helps with grief, work stress, self-esteem and coping with big life changes like separation or divorce.
Leo blends person-centred counselling with techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and brief solution-focused work. He pays attention to how people act and react in relationships and uses practical exercises to try out different choices. Sessions often include talking, reflecting and simple exercises to develop clearer values and daily habits.
He offers a straightforward first conversation to see if his way of working fits your needs. That initial chat is informal and aims to answer questions and set realistic goals. Leo encourages people to take small steps toward change and to use values and presence to guide decisions.
Sessions are delivered in English and he works with adults across a range of concerns. To begin, you will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Leo uses ACT, mindfulness and person-centred work online
Leo draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and making choices during life changes. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own path through difficult decisions.Mindfulness-based techniques are part of his offering too, helping people stay present and reduce unhelpful reactivity. Mindfulness work often involves short practices and exercises that can be tried between sessions to build steady habit and awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He discusses options with each person and adapts session tools to their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That process is collaborative and paced to what feels useful for the individual.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice mindfulness or values-based exercises in their own daily settings while discussing progress with a therapist.
