About me and my therapy practice

Welcome...my name is Leila (she/her). I am a proudly female-only person-centred therapist at Through The Woods Counselling. 

My specialist areas are:

  • Working with young people (11-18 years)
  • Bereavement/grief
  • Eco-therapy

A safe space

I aim to provide you with a safe and confidential space where you can freely talk about the things that are troubling you at your pace and from your perspective. We can work together to create a safe space online, face-to-face or outdoors in nature.

A non-judgemental approach

I understand that coming to therapy can be daunting, especially if it is your first time. Please rest assured that you will be welcomed with a warm and open approach. All feelings are valid and your experiences will be met with empathy and compassion.

Your voice will be heard

My goal is to help you reconnect with your true self, to help you rediscover your voice and to uncover the meaning behind your struggles.

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

Post Graduate certificate in Primary Education.

I am also a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and abide by their ethical framework and moral principles.

Alongside my private practice work I co run a bereavement support group based in Newport (STEPS).
