Leigh -Anne’s approach from day one, has been compassion, encouragement and always sound advice. I was never shamed, or felt isolated and alone. Leigh is a woman I consider in my camp - whenever I need sound counsel or wisdom she is first on my list. I have learnt one of the keys to recovery is having two or three people who care for your life, not your feelings. She is one of those women.

I can’t say that I’ve had many people make me feel that they cared for me and my healing as much as she has, all the while encouraging me to find my own answers to my demons, but holding my hand every step of the way. . Every word that came from my mouth was received with care, empathy, support and so much emotion that I trusted (and will forever trust) Leigh immediately and completely. Leigh is the most beautiful, incredible person I’ve known. She will forever have an extremely special place in my heart and, as far as I’m concerned, will forever be part of my family.

Leigh-Anne is the one and only coach I will ever want to see. She does her job extremely well, She made me feel cared for and supported, never giving up on me. I couldn't imagine being coached by anybody else. If I could give her a rating it would be a 10/10.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To her it's not just a job. I could tell it's her passion.

Santie

My sessions with Leigh-Anne were real and I was invited to be at ease and express my deepest anxieties, regrets, resentments, and everything else that surfaced during therapy in an open, honest, safe space. The absence of judgement was liberating. I always felt supported and that being an imperfect human in a world that demands perfection, is just fine. Leigh-Anne is so flexible and understanding, patient and compassionate so I came away after each session with a sense of peace as well as inspiration. Leigh-Anne helped me through the darkest time of my existence and though I've always been a firm supporter of therapy, I found that I really connected with her on a level few people/therapists understand.
