About Leonard Blake

Leonard Blake brings five years of private practice experience and offers a wide range of therapeutic modalities shaped to each individual’s needs. He has worked with a diverse client base, including people referred through major national agencies as well as private clients, and adapts his approach to reflect the particular circumstances and history each person brings.

He often takes an existential starting point, exploring how a person understands their world and how that understanding influences the difficulties they face. Through this exploration, Leonard helps people recognise patterns and perspectives that can reveal a route out of their present situation toward a more thriving existence. His work uses a counsellor and psychoanalytic approach to deepen understanding and to identify practical ways forward, with methods selected to match the client’s needs.
