Hi, I'm Leah!

I am a Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Lead, and Board-approved Supervisor at Feel to Heal Psychology.

As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, I know how powerful it can be when your experiences finally make sense. My own therapeutic journey has shaped both who I am as a psychologist and the way I practise, strengthening my commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care and my passion for helping people better understand themselves. That same passion has also helped me to co-develop our ADHD group programs, creating practical, evidence-based resources that empower individuals and families to better understand ADHD. I also pride myself on being an LGBTQIAP+ affirming psychologist.

In the therapy room, I enjoy working with individuals across a broad range of presentations, with particular interests in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias (including emetophobia), anxiety-based conditions, trauma-related conditions, and parenting support.

I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapies and tailor my approach to the individual needs of each client. I have undertaken advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am an EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner. I also draw on Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I am also an accredited Circle of Security (Parenting) Program Facilitator and take an attachment-based approach to helping parents better understand and connect with their children.

In addition to my therapeutic work, I have extensive experience conducting cognitive and neurodevelopmental assessments across the lifespan, including the assessment and diagnosis of intellectual disability, specific learning disorders, giftedness, autism, and ADHD. I am particularly passionate about assessing high-masking presentations of ADHD and autism, helping people who have spent years feeling misunderstood gain clarity, self-acceptance, and confidence in who they are.

As Clinical Lead and a Board-approved Supervisor, I enjoy supporting early career psychologists as they develop confidence in their therapeutic and assessment skills. 

Outside of the clinic, you'll usually find me practising reformer Pilates, spending time with my dog, Socks, and my cat, Cleo, or enthusiastically diving headfirst into whatever craft has become my latest ADHD hyperfocus.
