Leo Martyn

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“Leo is an experience, compassionate and present counsellor and psychotherapist working with adult clients of all ages in Crows Nest, Sydney.”

About Me

I offer a compassionate, experienced space for adult clients. As a psychotherapist, I am fully present, meeting you where you are. Our sessions provide dedicated time to explore your concerns. You can voice thoughts and feelings without judgment here. We will process experiences together, in the moment. Clients seeking a grounded, attentive partner for life's complexities will find a supportive environment.

Approach

In Crows Nest or online across Sydney I hold steady, paced sessions that prioritise safety, clarity and your immediate concerns. We attend to feelings and patterns in the room, then translate insights into simple, manageable steps you can try between meetings—practical strategies for anxiety, anger, burnout, trauma responses or addictive urges. Sessions balance present-moment reflection with planning for change, including boundary work and short-term experiments. People wanting clear, collaborative support through difficult moments often find this approach helpful.
