Avril Leonard

I offer sessions on Tuesdays 9-5pm, Wednesday 9-7pm and Thursdays 9-5pm. 

I work both online via video call and in-person outdoors in locations around Kirkintilloch and Kilsyth. 

Prior to working outdoors with clients I offer a free 30min consultation to discuss practicalities and arrange location.

I’m Avril, I am passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where people feel able to bring themselves fully, explore their experiences, and make sense of their world.

Working from a place of compassion and curiosity, I integrate person-centred practice with creative and trauma-informed approaches. I aim to walk alongside clients in their process, moving at a pace that feels right for them. I believe that each person is unique and trust in their ability to bring what feels important into therapy. Sessions are therefore not prescriptive; instead, they support the development of self-awareness, self-trust, and meaningful change.

Together, we will create a path towards the change you want in your life. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions or to arrange a consultation.

I work online and outdoors. When working outdoors, nature is not just a change in venue but an integral part of the therapeutic process. The natural environment can support grounding, emotional regulation and connection, creating space for therapy to unfold differently. I bring 20 years' experience across personal development and therapeutic settings, including four years as an outdoor psychotherapist. 

My approach to therapy has evolved through my experience of working alongside clients and professional trainings. I hold particular understanding in C-PTSD, PTSD, neurodivergence, and gender identity. 

Please get in touch to arrange a free consultation to discuss how we might best work together and see if it feels like the right fit for you.
