About Leah

Leah Turvey holds a Master of Social Work from Griffith University and a Bachelor of Psychology from Swinburne University, and she carries the AASW credential - a recognised social work qualification in Australia. Her practice is rooted in a warm, empathic, and client-centred stance that prioritises a respectful, collaborative relationship as the foundation for therapeutic work.

Leah uses an integrative and flexible model, drawing on current research to combine approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness practices, and Schema Therapy. This blend allows her to address both presenting symptoms and the underlying connections that contribute to them. She focuses on areas including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief and bereavement, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career-related issues.

Leah aims to create a space where people can explore joys, fears, challenges, desires, and frustrations with openness and support. Her style emphasises listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting, and she tailors evidence-informed techniques to meet each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward what matters. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and the stress of life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with stressful situations.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth. It is especially helpful when someone needs space to process emotions, relationships, or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leah, as a licensed professional, works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Leah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family, and life schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their style of engagement.
