Leyla Corbett
Warm, straightforward counselling for life’s hard moments
About Leyla
Leyla Corbett offers a calm, straightforward space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or trauma. She meets each person with warmth and listening rather than quick fixes. Leyla aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards feeling more able and grounded.
She uses a human-focused approach that centres the client's experience. Sessions combine gentle reflection with practical conversation about coping and decisions.
Background and approach
Leyla does not push forced positivity; she helps people face difficult emotions and build strength from within. Leyla has four years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her training and background inform a culturally aware practice, and she pays attention to how culture and identity shape emotional life.
Areas Leyla commonly addresses include family-related concerns, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, abandonment, body image and caregiving stress. She also works with people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. Her practice includes work around alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink as a focus area.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and Leyla accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. She aims to collaborate with each person to set practical goals and to find approaches that fit their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person's pace, reflects what they say and helps them identify their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, relationship worries and decision making.Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. It helps people recognise attachment needs and change unhelpful interaction cycles, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leyla will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals and values. Together they will review what helps and adapt the way they work as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or long-distance arrangements and allow people to choose what feels most manageable.
