If you're looking for a therapeutic space where you feel free to be yourself, this is it!

Perhaps you're neurodivergent and looking for support and understanding.

You might belong to the lgbtq+ or queer community and would like an understanding ally (and mama dragon!).

Maybe you are struggling to find where you belong, feel anxious, overwhelmed or depressed.

Therapy with me is a space where you can leave behind the worry about feeling judged, taking up too much space, or putting the feelings of others above your own.

A space where you can talk about your hopes, fears and concerns, knowing that someone understands and wants the best for you.

Therapy with me is the place where you can unmask, have your experiences and feelings validated, where you have the time and space to talk about how you really feel, with a person who really cares.

Fees and sessions

Starting counselling can feel like a big step- it might even feel scary!

I offer a free, no-obligation, 20-minute phone call to discuss compatibility.

Email leishalarsoncounselling@gmail.com to arrange a call.

Counselling sessions are held online and last 50 minutes. (Walk and Talk sessions are available in select locations in Kent.)

My fee is £60/session, payable in advance. Limited spaces available at a reduced fee of £40/session, for those with financial constraints.

I am available for morning, afternoon and evening appointments. Sessions can be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly; short or long term.

I work with adults of all ages, cultures and identities.

A little bit about myself:

I am neurodivergent with ADHD, and although I've struggled with it my whole life, I have only come to identify this later in life.

I have lived across three continents and have spent over a decade in each one. English is my native language and I am fluent in Spanish (albeit a bit rusty).

I am an LGBTQ+ ally and mama dragon. I have experience with gender, sex, and relationship diversity, including kink, bdsm and non-monogamous relationships.

I was raised in a high-demand/control Christian religion, but I have since left.

I know what it feels like to want a sense of belonging while feeling like an outsider, to hide parts of yourself, to mask or conform to feel accepted by others, and I know the sadness, loss and confusion of leaving a community.

I am a qualified Level 4 Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, rooted in person-centred therapy. I draw influence from a range of therapeutic theories and techniques, which helps me provide therapy that is unique to each person.

In therapy, I emphasise a strong therapeutic relationship, which I believe can be powerful and life-changing. 

I am continually learning and training to keep my knowledge and skills up to date. I will be the first to admit my own gaps in knowledge, biases and blind spots, but I am open, curious and have a continual desire to learn more to be able to provide excellent therapy.

I am a registered member of the BACP, which is one of many ethical bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK, and I abide by their ethical guidelines.

I am fully insured and on the enhanced DBS enhanced update service.
