About Leib

How his counselling approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports values-based action and can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems by breaking down problems into manageable steps.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental conversation where the counsellor listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to work on next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Liam will discuss options and help decide the best fit based on a person's concerns, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss session length and practical arrangements when scheduling the first appointment.
