Experienced Neuro-Affirming Therapy
Leigh Skelding Counselling Service provides experienced neuro affirming therapy for children aged 5+, adolescence and adults.
I am an experienced AUdHD and neuro-affirming therapist working across school settings in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, alongside private practice in both Baldock, Hertfordshire and Stotfold, Bedfordshire.
Who I Support
I support children, teenagers, adults and families experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, depression, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, bereavement and menopause. My work is grounded in compassion, authenticity and an understanding that every individual experiences the world differently.
I work extensively with autistic children and young people aged 5+, as well as those with ADHD, supporting both them and their families through emotional, social and educational challenges. Within school settings, I help young people build confidence, develop emotional understanding and navigate important transitions beyond school life.
My Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is creative, flexible and neuro-affirming.
I incorporate creative and play-based therapeutic approaches to help children and young people express themselves, process emotions and strengthen communication and social understanding in a way that feels safe and accessible to them.
Supporting the Whole Family
I also have significant experience supporting families whose children have experienced school exclusion or behavioural difficulties, recognising the wider emotional impact this can have on the entire family.
I have access to a broad range of therapeutic resources and creative interventions to support individual needs.
