My name is Leon Day
I am an Integrative Counsellor based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, offering face-to-face or online Therapy.
Since 2010, I've been part of the NHS, serving as a Mental Health Nurse in diverse settings. I work with individuals spanning various age groups, from adults to children and teenagers.
In 2021, I embarked on a new path, focusing on my development as an Integrative Counsellor completing my training at Waverley Abbey College and becoming a member of the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC).
I have an enhanced DBS and I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). I am committed to providing a professional service while keeping your information safe and secure.
My fundamental belief is in the uniqueness of every client. My primary objective is to foster a secure, confidential environment where individuals can freely express themselves, assess their circumstances, and explore their choices. Throughout this process, my clients are valued, empowered, and supported as they move forward.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I customize each session according to the specific needs of the individual. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic models, including Person-Centred, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Informed approaches. Additionally, I incorporate creative interventions and Psychoeducation as appropriate, to enrich the counselling experience.
I bring experience in assisting individuals who have confronted alcohol and substance issues, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief.
Moreover, I possess a special interest in addressing spiritual matters, exploring with you how we ascribe meaning to our lives and the influence of our beliefs on the challenges we encounter.
Furthermore, I am here to assist individuals who may feel that life has not unfolded in the way they initially envisioned.
In therapy, individuals vary in their initial clarity about their concerns. Some come in with a clear sense of what they want to discuss, while others recognize that something in their life isn't quite right but struggle to pinpoint the exact issue. Drawing upon my experience as a therapist, I can effectively assist both groups—those with specific topics in mind and those seeking guidance on where to begin.
I offer the flexibility of short-term or long-term therapy, conducted either in person in my counselling room or through online sessions via Microsoft. Each session is designed to span between 50 and 60 minutes, and we will collaboratively determine the frequency that best suits your needs. Typically, sessions are scheduled weekly at the outset of our therapeutic journey.

Commencing therapy is a significant decision, often accompanied by confusion regarding the various therapeutic approaches available and which one aligns best with your needs.
Research has consistently demonstrated that, while the specific therapeutic approach holds importance, the most critical factor influencing the effectiveness of therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and the therapist.
To help you make an informed decision, I'm pleased to offer a complimentary consultation. This allows you to inquire about me and my therapeutic approach, helping you determine whether I am the right therapist for you, and how I may be able to help you.
