Leila Turney, NCPS

Leila Turney is a UK-credentialed integrative counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She works at a pace that feels comfortable for each person, using a collaborative method that focuses on the client’s goals and what fits best into their life. Sessions are tailored to individual needs so that therapeutic work is practical and relevant to day-to-day challenges.

As an integrative therapist, Leila draws on a range of approaches including person-centred methods, dialectical behaviour techniques, solution-focused work, cognitive behavioural strategies, and mindfulness-based practices. This variety allows her to select tools that suit the presenting concern and the client’s preferred style of working. Leila holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training in counselling practice.

She supports people experiencing stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence issues, grief and bereavement, anger and emotional regulation difficulties, questions of identity, and life transitions. Whether someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wants a listening space, Leila aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental environment to help clients reconnect with their strengths. Together with each client she works toward practical steps that move them closer to the life they want to live.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Leila commonly integrates client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and following the client’s priorities, helping with issues like low self-esteem, identity questions, and life transitions. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often used for anxiety, panic, and stress. DBT provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing anger, overwhelming emotions, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leila works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Leila is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or anywhere that works for the client, while still engaging with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide tailored treatment.
