Leigh Cooper

Leigh Cooper is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience supporting people through a range of emotional and practical difficulties. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and career matters, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and she offers affirming support for LGBT clients.

Her own experience of attending therapy informed her decision to train as a counsellor and taught her the importance of a therapeutic space where genuineness, acceptance and empathy are central. Leigh draws on that personal insight alongside professional training to create a calm, warm and respectful atmosphere in which clients can explore what matters to them.

Leigh has a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is an Accredited member of the BACP - MBACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapists. She undertakes ongoing professional development, including work on sexual violence, psychosexual therapy introductions, personality disorder, autism and ADHD awareness, and related topics.

Across her career she has worked with people affected by addiction, low self-esteem and destructive behaviour, and she has experience supporting survivors of trauma, sexual abuse and domestic violence. She offers both short-term and longer-term therapy and aims to provide a safe, sometimes challenging, non-judgemental space where issues can be explored and understood.
