Understanding yourself. Experiencing things differently. Having greater choice.
I’m Leanne Butler, an experienced clinical psychologist providing individual psychotherapy on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, Melbourne and via telehealth.
My work centres on developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship, creating the space to understand yourself more deeply, explore what may be keeping you stuck and experience things in new ways.
Together, we work towards greater freedom and choice in how you respond, relate and live.
How I can help
Finding your way
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, noticing the same patterns repeating, struggling in relationships or sensing that something in your life no longer feels right.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, perfectionism, self criticism, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, intense emotions, body image concerns and periods of significant change.
Together, we make sense of what you are experiencing and what may sit underneath it.
About Leanne
Therapy asks for more than simply listening.
I’m a warm, engaged and interactive therapist. I listen deeply, but I do not simply sit back. I’ll be alongside you, helping us understand what is happening and finding a way forward together.
After more than 20 years in psychology, I continue to value the trust involved in being invited into another person’s inner world.
Starting therapy
I aim to make the process of starting therapy as straightforward as possible.
Appointments are 50 minutes and are available in person in Hawthorn or via telehealth. You do not need a referral to make an appointment. If you would like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need an eligible Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral.
You can find current information about appointments, fees, Medicare rebates and common questions before getting started.
GP referrals
Referring a patient
I accept referrals for individual psychological therapy, including referrals under a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
Information for GPs and other referring practitioners includes my areas of practice, referral details, appointment information and how to send a referral.
