About Leib
Leib 'Liam' Goldman brings a practical, person-focused style to therapy. Liam is an AASW social worker with three years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and low mood. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.
Liam centres sessions on each person's story and strengths. He listens first and helps people work out small, useful steps they can try between meetings.
How Leib works
He uses evidence-informed tools rather than one fixed method, adapting to what feels most helpful for the individual. He has worked alongside people experiencing anxiety, depression and a range of serious mental health concerns. That background means he is comfortable talking about trauma, mood shifts and complex reactions, and helping clients build practical coping skills.
Common themes he supports include relationships, self-esteem, sleep problems, grief, career stress and navigating big life changes. He also helps clients with ADHD, identity and intimacy-related issues, and concerns such as guilt, shame or feeling isolated. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Liam combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioural approaches and mindfulness to suit what each person needs. He aims to help clients notice what matters to them and move toward those goals at a manageable pace.

Online support options
Therapy approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses practical exercises and mindful noticing to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying small, structured changes to see what helps. It suits anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive stance where the person leads the pace and topics and the counsellor follows with empathy and reflection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Liam will discuss these options with each person and adapt techniques to their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus on skills training, values-based work or a gentler exploratory style during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues; phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and allow brief, regular contact. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while still getting consistent support.
