Hello, I am Leisha Townson, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker psychotherapist and Counsellor with over 30 years working alongside individuals & families from many different cultural and religious/spiritual backgrounds and who live/have lived a life challenged by complex trauma. Three main mindsets shape my thinking – Every individual has unique strengths, inbuilt resilience and the ability to achieve positive change; Every individual is entitled to the basic human right of living a life filled with safety, recognition, inclusion, knowledge and connectedness; and, Even a single thread of hope can be very powerful in creating a strong foundation for positive change. A strength-based approach is my underlying framework foundation; combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour, Schema, Narrative, Music and Art Therapy I have the experience and confidence to assist in finding both the specialised approach and the spark for change for any individual. Over 25 years has allowed for the development of an extensive 'toolbox' of techniques and strategies. I am an international presenter and author focusing on topics such as resilience, hope, coping, trauma, empowerment and the ‘Survivor Self’ concept. I work from a GP clinic in Cooroy or my private room in Maroochydore which has no signage and private off-street parking for confidentiality. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. ‘’I highly recommend Leisha…I was very nervous initially...When I met Leisha, I instantly relaxed.
