Approaches to practice

Rather than adhering rigidly to a type of therapy (modality), Leo is interested in meeting you respectfully, safely and openly where you are at, in the moment, right now.

Many clients present with an issue that they feel they can no longer self-manage and it benefits from professional help. Often this issue is causing significant life disruption and distress, but may be driven by deeper underlying causes.

Depending on what you need assistance with, initial approaches may include supportive counselling, shorter term evidence-based modalities and unpacking a problem.

Many of our clients have already been down that road and want more. Leo has many years experience in undertaking the big journeys himself and can offer powerful tools for change and longer term support for spiritual and inner growth and development. These can include humanistic, somatic (body), psychodynamic and meditation based approaches.

Leo has worked for over a decade with these modalities and been part of many individual and group training programs in the psychological and spiritual worlds.

Couples and relationship counselling

Leo offers years of experience counselling couples and welcomes all ages and same sex couples.

Working with your relationship, Leo will assist you to find out what is the truth for you both and your future together.

There are many reasons why couples of all ages seek counselling which can include working to resolve long term conflicts, issues with sex and intimacy, immediate crises such as affairs and challenges with addiction, violence and abusive behaviours, codependency, challenges related to past traumas, systemic issues related to families of origin and psychodynamics each of you bring.

Whatever calls you, whether it is learning to love again, reopen or develop better communication skills, find structured solutions or respectfully separate, you are welcome here.

Rebates for services

Leo is a Clinical member of the Australian Counselling Association and some rebates are available via certain private health funds under this affiliation.

Leo can currently offer rebates for members of BUPA and it is expected Medibank, Doctors and Police funds will follow shortly in March 2019.

Unfortunately Leo is unable to accept GP referrals under the Medicare Better Access scheme at this time, but alternately offers competitive rates and a full hour appointment which works to negate the difference and increase the flexibility of approaches and treatment plans available to you.
