Leah Coleman
Certified Psychotherapist; MEd, BHE, CCC
Leah has a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor's Degree in Family Social Science in Child and Youth Developmental Health. She has extensive experience supporting the mental health of children, youth, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.
Leah uses a holistic approach to counselling that allows the counsellor to walk with the participant through their journey of self-exploration. She enables the participants to feel at ease and comfortable as they embark on this experience together. It may be challenging to reach out for help, but the benefits can be life-changing. It is her hope that the experiences within this journey will be carried with the participant long after their time together is over. Life has many twists and turns; progress is not linear. She believes that through counselling, the roots of current issues and challenges can be explored to allow new growth.
Using a mixture of theoretical perspectives facilitates a comprehensive person-centered approach that matches the individual's needs. This provides the opportunity to offer services to a broad range of individuals with varying needs and abilities, honouring diversity and inclusive practices. Sessions may include Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Approach, Play-based Therapy, as well as Mindfulness-based practices. While some issues and stressors may be universal, the counselling process is as individual as the participant.
