About Me — Counsellor Practitioner

My name is Leisa, and I am a counsellor based in Lake Macquarie, NSW. I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where women, teens, parents, and individuals can openly explore their experiences and emotions. My approach is gentle, person-centred, and focused on supporting you in a way that honours your unique journey. I believe everyone deserves to feel understood, respected, and supported. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply seeking direction, I will walk alongside you with empathy and care. Together, we will create a space where you can reflect, gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward at your own pace.

Why I Became a Counsellor.

My journey into counselling began through years of supporting people through some of life’s most challenging moments. Through my experience in support work, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people experiencing grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, mental health challenges, and family or relationship difficulties.These experiences shaped my belief that everyone deserves a safe space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgement. I became a counsellor because I believe meaningful change can begin when someone feels truly listened to and accepted. Having a compassionate person beside you can make a difference when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to navigate. My goal is to provide a calm and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, build self-understanding, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Areas I Support

People seek counselling for many different reasons, and you do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I provide support for individuals navigating challenges such as:

Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed
Low mood and depression
Grief, loss, and major life changes
Relationship and family challenges
Low self-esteem and confidence struggles
Emotional regulation and managing difficult feelings

Life transitions, personal growth, and finding direction

Counselling is a space where we can explore what you are experiencing, understand your needs, and work together towards greater clarity, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. You are welcome to reach out, even if you are unsure where to begin.
