Leigh Cooper, BACP

Leigh Cooper is a compassionate, person-centred counsellor who supports people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and life changes. She creates a warm, respectful space where individuals can explore difficult feelings, whether they are coping with grief, navigating separation, managing stress, or trying to understand responses to past abuse. Leigh draws on her own experience of therapy to inform a practice grounded in genuineness, acceptance, and empathy, and she aims to help clients move forward when they feel stuck.

She is an accredited member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling awarded by CPCAB, a recognised counselling training body. Leigh offers both short-term and longer-term work and has undertaken ongoing professional development in areas such as sexual violence, psychosexual therapy, personality disorder, autism awareness, and ADHD awareness.

Over several years she has worked with people affected by addiction, low self-esteem, self-harm, domestic violence and sexual abuse, supporting survivors and those experiencing destructive behaviours. Her practice emphasises listening without judgement and collaborating with clients to understand and resolve the issues that matter to them, offering a blend of warmth and gentle challenge to promote insight and change.
