My name is Lea.

With a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology, I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. A graduate therapist in Integrative Psychotherapy (Hakomi) and am a certified Buddhist chaplain.
Specialising in loss, grief, and end-of-life counselling, I have extensive experience using mindfulness and cognitive behavioural skills therapy for depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and burnout.
I work in a way that is client centred, valuing the clients' lead in exploring their difficulties at their own pace and in their own way - I see my role as a guide in this process.
I also run Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy groups on-line. And coach individuals in the MBCT programme.
I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, mindful and somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi), and non-sectarian chaplaincy counselling.
If you want to know more or make an appointment, contact me.

I strongly recommend Lea
I am extremely fortunate to have had a series of psychotherapy sessions with Lea. She is a sensitive, empathetic and professional therapist who really helped me cope with my family background, medical history and life experiences in a positive way.
I feel privileged to have started this ongoing process with Lea who used her knowledge of psychotherapy and deep understanding of mindfulness to provide me with the tools I needed to become more accepting and positive.
I strongly recommend Lea Godfrey as a psychotherapist

Thanks so much
Thanks so much again for a life changing 8 weeks (MBCT). This practice is changing the relationship I have with myself, my thoughts, feelings and my actions and transforming the way I relate to and connect with the world (environment and people) around me every day in surprising ways.

It is making a significant difference
Lea’s guidance through the MCBT programme has been invaluable in personalising strategies to best suit my needs and circumstances.
Her willingness to be flexible with dates and times has made it possible for me to do the course amidst huge change.
That has been much appreciated because MBCT practice is enabling me to navigate this season in my life with relative ease. It is making a significant difference.
