Guiding Your Path of Growth
One Step at a Time
About Dr Leiya Lemkey
I am an HCPC-Registered Forensic Psychologist and Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society, with over 10 years of experience working across the NHS, independent healthcare, secure forensic services and private practice.
I have worked with individuals experiencing some of the most complex psychological presentations across NHS, independent healthcare, secure forensic and private practice settings, bringing this breadth of experience into every therapeutic relationship.
I completed my Doctorate in Forensic Psychology at the University of Birmingham and have undertaken specialist training in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
I use an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to your individual needs, experiences and goals rather than relying on a single therapeutic model. I have particular experience supporting adults experiencing trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties and other complex psychological presentations.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative and practical. Together, we will develop a shared understanding of the factors contributing to your difficulties and work towards meaningful, evidence-based and sustainable psychological change.
