Hi, I’m Leyna Howard.
I’m a counsellor with over 13 years of experience supporting individuals and families in the Mental Health and Alcohol & Other Drugs sectors primarily within charitable organisations. I’m also a wife, a mum to two amazing adult children, and a devoted dog lover.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) and a Master of Counselling, and I’m deeply committed to ongoing learning and reflective practice. My personal and professional journey has taught me the importance of caring for our mental health, wellbeing, and sense of self. These values are at the heart of my work.

As a trauma-informed and person-centered counsellor, I create a safe, respectful space where your voice is heard, and your experiences are honoured. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, instead, your story, your strengths, and your pace guide the process.

Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, or the challenges of everyday life, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, empathy, and genuine care. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner resources, build on what keeps you grounded, and move toward the life that feels most meaningful to you.

Counselling is a collaborative journey and it's a true privilege to support those who are ready to take that brave first step toward healing and growth.
