Leah is very kind and easy to connect with. We started with getting to know each other and conquering smaller concerns I had. Over time she helped me dig down and discover the root causes of my anxiety. With Rapid Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) technique, I de-escalated some of my most triggering life events and biggest fears. Leah has helped me become more comfortable with myself, helped me improve my relationship with my parents, and has given me the tools to control my daily anxieties. Thank you Leah!!

Leah is so kind and friendly and quickly understands what I'm trying to say and the problems I'm having! I was a bit nervous about our first call but she instantly put me at ease with her calm and friendly demeanour and we had a laugh at some things!
