Leonie Holm
es Counselling
Welcome I’m an experienced and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in Colchester who truly gets it.
I support women navigating ADHD, the lasting effects of childhood trauma and the emotional demands of parenting.
Are you exhausted from trying to make sense of your emotional triggers? Burnt out from the demands of parenting neurodivergent children? Feeling constantly misunderstood, overwhelmed or struggling with the changes that come with perimenopause?
Perhaps you're navigating complicated family dynamics, juggling a million different demands, and struggling to set boundaries or put yourself first.
Maybe, despite everything you do, you still feel as though you're not quite good enough. You question yourself, worry about getting things wrong and find yourself putting everyone else's needs before your own.
You're in the right place.
A different kind of counselling
You won't find me suited and booted with a notebook, but more likely wearing trainers, a friendly smile and a cup of tea in hand.
I came to therapy work through my own journey with trauma, ADHD, parenthood and the many twists and turns that life can bring. I show up as myself, hopefully someone you can relate to and feel comfortable with. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be yourself, without feeling judged, analysed or expected to sit quietly while I take notes.
I have extensive experience working with adults navigating the challenges of ADHD in later life, and the anxiety and trauma that can often go alongside it. Clients have told me they've worried about fidgeting in sessions, going off on tangents or interrupting. Please don't worry! I pride myself on keeping up with even the fastest of talkers.
You can swear, fidget, change the subject and talk as much as you need to. We can laugh and cry together, and hopefully work towards some real and lasting change.
Alongside my specialist areas, I also support women experiencing a range of emotional and mental health difficulties.
