Leigh is a Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor with more than 10 years experience working in psychology across a variety of roles. He works at Symmetry Tuesday to Friday and his waitlist is currently closed.

He has a particular interest in helping people the patterns that get in the way of them living the life they want to live. As a former child and adolescent psychologist, Leigh draws heavily on understanding how difficult experiences or neglect in early life create maladaptive belief systems, difficulties with emotions and problematic behaviours that are pervasive throughout our life. Leigh works with individuals to understand their own narrative, to co-create change and empower them to build a more meaningful life in line with their goals and needs.

Common presentations that lead to people seeking support with Leigh include but are not limited to, difficulties in: mood, anxiety, relationships, conflict, emotional regulation, emotional expression, identity, physical neglect, emotional neglect, dissociation and trauma. 

As a queer man, Leigh has a particular passion for working with other members of the LGBTIQA+ community. Leigh is passionate about understanding intersectionality and the unique experiences of this community. He has an empathic, creative and playful style, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities to support individuals in understanding themselves and creating change. Primarily, Leigh practices Schema Therapy and draws skills and techniques from other modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and attachment therapy to support change. 

Leigh is Advanced Certified in Schema Therapy with the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) and is currently working towards his Supervision certification to support other professionals seeking accreditation. Leigh has also begun working towards becoming an EMDR consultant.
