Personalized Counselling & Therapy Online

I’m Ronnie, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Leeds.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Struggling to pinpoint the cause of your distress? Experiencing difficulties in your relationships and seeking a compassionate listener who isn't a friend or family member?

I have extensive experience supporting individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, men, and those recovering from narcissistic abuse.

At my counselling practice in Leeds, my goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we will work towards promoting healing, personal growth, and overall well-being.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed—whether it’s anxiety, uncertainty about where life is going, or struggling with relationships. My own experience with panic attacks and overthinking led me to therapy, first as a client, then as a counsellor. That journey shaped how I work today.

After volunteering for Samaritans, I decided to pursue a career in therapy. Whilst volunteering at LGBTQ+ charity Skyline, I moved into counselling in higher education settings.

My approach is honest, and down-to-earth and I won’t just sit back and nod—I’ll challenge you when needed, support you when things feel tough, and help you find clarity and direction. With a personalized approach, we can address your unique needs and guide you towards a more balanced, fulfilling life. If you’re ready to start figuring things out, let’s talk.

I am currently working remotely online.

FAQ’s

I’ve never had therapy before - what can I expect?

Much as no two people are the same, every therapy session is different. I aim to provide a relaxing space for you - confidential and without judgement. The first session will be about getting to know your reasons for seeking therapy and taking some details from you. We will discuss your expectations and you can also ask me questions. If you are nervous, please be assured that therapy isn’t like in the movies.

How do I work?

I work in a person-centred, integrative way, with influences of psychodynamic therapy. This means we can adapt as we continue to work together. Some people use sessions to let off steam, while others wish to delve deeper into the past. You may prefer structure and challenge. For this I may integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, where we explore your thoughts and behaviours or Solution Focused techniques.

How many sessions would I need?

There are no rules to therapy duration. I believe we require a handful of sessions together to build a rapport and get to know each other, but thereafter I offer open-ended therapy depending on your issues.

How much does each session cost?

My rate is £55 for a 50 minute session. It is important to me that you feel I am the right therapist for you. For this reason I offer an initial free 15 min call to discuss what is going on for you. I also offer concessions for students or those on low income.
