At the heart of my work is a person-centred foundation. Because of this, I aim to provide a non-judgmental space where you can think openly, feel heard, and explore your experiences at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Jungian therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, creative therapy approaches, and solution-focused thinking. This allows our work together to remain flexible and responsive to your individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I see therapy as a shared process rather than an advice-led one. I work best with clients who are open to curiosity, reflection, and self-exploration. Together, we can explore patterns, deepen understanding, and support your sense of agency and direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/leighwrightcounselling.com\/?page_id=49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> to book a <strong>free initial consultation call<\/strong> or ask any questions you may have about counselling, or <a href=\"https:\/\/leighwrightcounselling.com\/?page_id=27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> to find more information on how I work as an Integrative counsellor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"zoom-instagram feed-468 aligncenter layout-grid columns-3 with-lightbox spacing-10 perpage-3\"><header class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header\"><div class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header-column-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leighwrightcounselling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/283550258_1062927407942201_955226197399915625_n-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"@leighwrightcounselling\" width=\"70\" \/><\/div><div class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header-column-right\"><h5 class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header-name\">Leigh Wright Counselling<\/h5><p class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header-user\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leighwrightcounselling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@leighwrightcounselling<\/a><\/p><div class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__header-bio\">Integrative Accredited Counsellor &#x1f33f; Integrative Creative Supervisor &#x1faa2; Person-Centred Core &#x2728; Counselling Teacher &#x1f469;&#x1f3fc;&#x200d;&#x1f393; Workshop Creator &#x1f4bb;<\/div><\/div><\/header><div class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__items-wrapper\"><ul class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__items zoom-instagram-widget__items--no-js layout-grid\" data-layout=\"grid\" data-lightbox=\"1\" data-spacing=\"10\" data-perpage=\"3\"><li class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__item media-icons-normal media-icons-hover\" data-media-type=\"carousel_album\"><div class=\"zoom-instagram-widget__item-inner-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"zoom-instagram-link zoom-instagram-link-new\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/leighwrightcounselling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/755692925_18060206393768700_3535464692847337750_n-320x320.jpg\" data-mfp-src=\"18100656638601443\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfa8 A challenge for my fellow counsellors...\n\nI&#039;ve had a go at creating what the Drama Triangle and the Empowerment Dynamic look like to me using a random collection of stickers, colours and doodles.\n\nHere&#039;s the challenge...

The beautiful dress, the carriage, the confidence to step into a different life, it was all gone in an instant.\n\nFor many people with PMDD, it can feel like midnight arrives every single month.\n\nOne day you&#039;re laughing, making plans, feeling capable and connected to yourself.\n\nThen &quot;midnight&quot; comes.\n\nYour thoughts become darker. Your emotions become overwhelming. You question your relationships. You lose confidence. You struggle to recognise yourself.\n\nThe difference is that Cinderella knew exactly when midnight would strike, and she knew it would end. \n\nPMDD doesn&#039;t always feel that predictable. Even when you know your cycle, it can still feel devastating. And when you&#039;re in it, your brain often convinces you that this version of life is permanent.\n\nPMDD can make you feel as though you&#039;ve lost yourself. But you haven&#039;t.\n\nThe version of you who feels hopeful, capable and worthy hasn&#039;t disappeared. She&#039;s still there, waiting for the storm to pass.\n\nAnd until you can see her again, you deserve people who can hold onto that truth for you.\n\nYou are not the thoughts PMDD whispers to you. You are so much more than your &quot;midnight.&quot;\n\n#pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #cycleawareness #mentalhealthsupport<\/div><div class=\"wpz-insta-date\">3 weeks ago<\/div><div class=\"view-post\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DakjBvQMKar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-instagram\"><\/span>View on Instagram<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"delimiter\">|<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpz-insta-pagination\">3\/6<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-uid=\"17966583447105042\" class=\"swiper-slide wpz-insta-lightbox-item\"><div class=\"wpz-insta-lightbox\"><div class=\"image-wrapper\"><img class=\"wpzoom-swiper-image swiper-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/leighwrightcounselling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/731787452_18057083591768700_3019958170352408892_n.jpg\" alt=\"PMDD may influence part of your month, but it doesn&#039;t define who you are.\n\nYou are not &quot;too much.&quot;
