Educational Psychologist

CDA Registered
HCPC Registered

Dr Leanne holds a Doctorate in Applied Educational Psychology (DAppEdPsy) from Newcastle University, UK, and has over a decade of experience across public and private sectors in both the UK and UAE. As an assessment specialist, she focuses on diagnostic psychological assessments for a wide range of neurodevelopmental differences e.g., autism, ADHD and learning differences.

Passionate about affirmative approaches to neurodiversity, Dr Leanne is dedicated to helping neurodivergent individuals and their families build a deeper understanding of themselves and develop a strong, positive self-identity. She works within a Strengths-Based, Solution-Focused framework underpinned by Positive Psychology, valuing collaboration with professionals, parents, and children to problem-solve and create meaningful, practical solutions together.
Beyond her professional life, Dr Leanne is an avid foodie and anime enthusiast. A lover of rock and heavy metal, she can often be found at gigs and festivals. She’s also passionate about travel, strength training at the gym, and keeping life colourful— literally —since her hair rarely stays the same colour for more than six months!
