About Leah
Leah Murphy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and codependency. She has 21 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Leah aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive for someone who is worried or unsure.
Leah creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She listens closely and helps clients name what is happening for them. Conversations are steady and practical, focusing on small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, which prioritise the client’s pace and perspective. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people recognise unhelpful patterns, and dialectical behaviour therapy skills when emotion regulation is a focus. Trauma-focused ideas are brought in when past events continue to affect the present.
Leah supports people with a wide range of concerns, including sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, career worries, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with matters such as abandonment, attachment, and body image. The aim is to help clients build clearer boundaries, steadier routines, and stronger self-awareness.
If someone wants to begin, they can expect straightforward guidance about next steps. Leah will work collaboratively to set goals and check progress as therapy continues.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will choose methods and pace that feel right, and check in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caring routines, reducing travel time, and making it easier to attend from different locations.
