i really struggled with relationships issues at work in the USA. When I complained about it on a meeting she attended, she sent wrote to me about it in an e-mail with some advice, she also encouraged me to let her know if she can help and even to refer me to a different source of help in case she is unable to help me. That wasn't my experience with another person doing the same kind of work Leah does but in the US - when I wrote to her the same thing I wrote to Leah , this American person refused to even comment on what I complained about without me paying her first for a consultation. However. she did refer me to some free help financed by the state of New York.

As someone who has been in therapy for years and worked with different therapists along the way, I can truly say that Leah is different, and that difference is exactly what I needed. At first, I was hesitant to work with her. Let’s be honest, opening up to someone new is never easy, especially when you have had past experiences with other therapists. I was a bit skeptical, but Leah connected with me in a way I didn’t expect. She brought in her own helpful experiences and life advice, which made me feel truly heard and seen. To me, that was so important because it didn’t feel like there was a wall between me and “the therapist.” I worked with Leah for a relatively short time (around three months), and in that time, I accomplished more than I thought possible. My biggest challenges were trust issues, feeling like a mom in my then-relationship (people-pleasing), and self-esteem issues. I can confidently say that my people-pleasing has gone down to the minimal. My self-esteem has improved, and I now have a better understanding of where my trust issues come from. Some topics are still a work in progress, but I am confident I can get to the point where I want to be. Her approach worked so well for me because she goes deep, challenges you (and personally, I need that little push), and offers tips and exercises that are Practical and Doable. She gives great examples that make it easier to actually apply what you are learning in your daily life.

My sessions with Leah were different to any other therapy I've had in the past. They encouraged me to take a more active role in my recovery/discovery journey, which ultimately empowered me more and gave me a stronger sense of optimism and hope about my future. Most importantly the sessions gave me tangible tools to use in everyday life and all my relationships. Felt like the cloud lifted and I could think clearly and positively again.

Leah has been helping me with my personal development for about 18 months now. It has been an amazing experience! In particular she is helping me with my sex life and my social interactions. I have learned such a lot about myself and am finding it much easier to find my way through the world. Even though I am now in my seventies, I've come to realise that I still have a lot to learn. I count myself as very lucky to have found Leah to help me on this journey.

Leah has been an invaluable mentor and coach, helping navigate the complexities of relationships, sexuality and self discovery. I would highly recommend her workshops, training and services to all.

I never felt like therapy had a lasting effect or change for me. I would frequent therapists who would listen to my thoughts and feelings for an hour. During that hour it felt great to spew all of my tribulations out and for the therapist to encouragingly nod their head, adding reassuring words throughout the session. Afterwords I would feel OK for a day or two but I never felt like I was improving myself or resolving anything. I was mostly just left with the feeling of paying someone to listen to me rant... and well, I already had friends I could do that with for free. Therapy started to feel like a waste of time and money so I decided I'd be better off without it. A year or so later I really felt like I needed some real effective help to manage my inner struggles. This time I did extensive research and came across Leah's website. Honestly with my previous experience in therapy I was a tad skeptical but when I saw that she did a "get to know you" to see if she could actually help you call, I decided to take the leap (and I'm so happy I did). Leah listened to me but she didn't always nod her head in agreement, nor did she always say reassuring words to support my delusion. Leah gave me the (sometimes) hard truth, she showed me what I needed to see in myself in order for me to grow. She gave me the tools that I needed to manage my inner struggles on my own. Because of Leah, for the first time in my life I can actually manage my struggles and some of these struggles have completely gone away. I feel balanced and much more secure in myself. My only regret is not finding her sooner! I wish I could have met Leah 10 years ago so that I wouldn't have felt like I wasted so much time. Better now than never though! Thanks Leah!!

We’ve only been working with Leah for a short time but already she has given us a far greater insight and clarity into areas of growth. We’ve faced challenges with opening up our relationship to others. Leah has identified the root causes to these challenges, giving us a pathway to navigate to build a relationship to support both our needs. Leah shares personal experiences, which help develop our understanding. She strives to avoid dependency upon her support which is an admirable objective. She balances perfectly empathy and compassion with brutal honesty and clear actions. Her growth journey course also shifted our thinking, giving us many more tools to help us act on learning material we are absorbing in an effective way. We are thoroughly enjoying working with Leah and are so pleased she is giving us the guidance to springboard our growth.

Thanks to Leah's help/guidance, I've been able to process a lot of internalised shame about sex and BDSM that goes back to my childhood. My earliest memories are of tying myself up, imagining I was being tortured etc. for reasons I can barely comprehend now, I've spent my whole life trying to "fix" myself and hiding my kinks from everyone, including my partner of 20 years... gradually my vanilla sex life died, I just couldn't fake it any more and I sought some help. Leah helped me get OK/confident with who I was, before coming out to my partner. I realised that she didn't truly know who I was and I owed it to both of us to let her see all of me. I was prepared for the worst, but at a point where because I wasn't ashamed of it, knew that there was nothing wrong with me (just something wrong with how I'd behaved for 20 years by hiding it), that ultimately - it would be OK. As it turned out, she was completely accepting of me. I'm an idiot for not coming out sooner - inflicting 20 years of sub-par sex on the pair of us. For the first time in my life I made myself vulnerable to someone and they think I'm OK exactly as I am, in fact, they think I'm better when not carrying around guilt and self-loathing. It turns out I'm a lot more fun to be around, when I'm not expending significant mental effort on trying to change/hide a fundamental part of who I am. Become who you're meant to be, and if you can't, find someone like Leah who can guide you there!

As someone who has felt lost, depressed and unworthy, finally taking the step to get the help I needed has finally put me in the right direction and I can clearly see my path in life and have more reason than ever to get out of bed in the morning. It's a lot but worth every penny. The mini-course was especially helpful in learning to implement healthy changes in order to help with my self-growth. I still have a long way to go but so far the only annoyance I have is not doing this sooner

I came to Leah for sex therapy, but actually feel I’ve got a lot more than that from it. In the process of examining my relationship to sex, my partner and my kinks I’ve discovered that a lot of how I approach life more generally was tied into my approach and attitudes to sex and how that manifested itself in other ways. As we’ve begun to unpack all that, I’ve found myself feeling more integrated and whole. I’m generally happier, more open minded about/interested in sex, more interested in people and actually, without making any conscious effort to do it, being a lot nicer to the people around me - particularly my partner. Even my energy levels seem higher. I am only 7 sessions in, but already seeing positive changes that I feel are just going to continue to build.
