ABOUT FREE SPIRIT NOW
Fellow traveller,
not guru.
A place to explore being human, without needing to arrive with it all worked out.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORDS
Hello, I’m Leigh.
My training and professional background include person-centred counselling and group therapy facilitation.
These experiences have shaped the way I approach people, relationships, behaviour and recovery. They’ve also deepened my appreciation of empathy, acceptance, personal responsibility and the importance of understanding people within the context of their own lives.
Alongside that professional background, I bring my own lived experience, questions, uncertainties and evolving understanding of what it means to be human.
Curious, not certain.
Experienced, not expert.
Inviting, not instructing.
HOW WE MEET ONE ANOTHER
Room for your own understanding.
Free Spirit Now isn’t a counselling service, and I don’t claim to have the answers to anybody else’s life.
It’s a place to share perspectives, explore possibilities, occasionally challenge familiar ideas and leave people free to discover what resonates with them.
Curiosity with boundaries.
Trying to understand another person does not mean deciding we know exactly how they feel. Nor does it mean excusing harm. Empathy can sit alongside honesty and accountability.
Wonder without certainty.
Grounded spirituality leaves room for what we feel, notice and cannot explain. We can be moved by something without having to declare what the universe intended.
