Leanne deeply appreciates attachment-based models that emphasise the critical role of healthy connections in predicting resilience and psychological well-being. One of her favourite practice areas involves child-focused parent work, where she guides parents in tuning into their child’s emotional world and fostering psychological immunity through emotional co-regulation. As a mother of two girls, Leanne understands the significance of normalising the challenges of parenting.
Leanne also provides a comprehensive range of standardised assessments for children and adolescents. These assessments encompass educational, social-emotional, and behavioural domains, ensuring a thorough evaluation of their needs and development.
