You don’t have to work through everything alone.
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel listened to, without judgement.
I’m Leanne Dowler, a qualified Person Centred Counsellor and postgraduate-trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I support adults and young people with understanding their experiences, exploring their feelings and finding ways forward.
My experience includes working with depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and phobias. Together, we can explore an approach that suits your needs.
A genuine connection. Space to talk. Support at your own pace.

The Therapy Den
A quiet space.
Time just for you.
Counselling takes place in my private room in Formby, affectionately known as the Therapy Den.
Purpose-built in the garden of my home, the Therapy Den offers a secluded, private setting away from everyday distractions.
Inside, comfortable seating and warm surroundings create a welcoming place to talk. You can take your time, settle in and explore what matters to you.
You’ve always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.
