Approaches used online and what they offer



Leigh draws on Jungian therapy to explore recurring themes, symbols and inner patterns that influence feelings and behaviour. This approach can help people seeking a deeper understanding of identity, life themes and long-standing emotional material.

He also uses Mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques support people who are managing stress, anxiety or overwhelming emotions by teaching practical ways to notice and respond rather than react.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Leigh collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences and may adapt the mix of approaches as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to regular appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work with a registered professional even when in-person sessions are not possible.
