About Me
My name is Dr Leah Bruer Henen and I am an Adult Psychiatrist and Medical Psychotherapist based in Cheshire, South Manchester.
I am specialised in talking therapies, such as psychoanalysis (Freud/the unconscious), Family Therapy (systems, transgenerational trauma) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (thoughts-control-actions).
I trained in the NHS, providing individual and group psychotherapy in hospitals, outpatient clinics, therapeutic communities and forensic secure units. I have lectured and trained doctors, GPs and mental health practitioners to help their clients get compassionate and trauma-informed support.
I have experience in managing Mood Disorders (Anxiety/Depression/Bipolar), Complex Emotional Difficulties and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I worked in the NHS specialising in the field of the Body/ Mind. I firmly believe that we cannot separate the two and that our Body will always tell us what our Mind may not be able to. I therefore have specialism in Liaison Psychiatry, which supports my work in the fields of Medically Unexplained Syndromes and Functional Disorders.
With this experience, I took up a Lead Consultant Post for an independent company to help Young Adults struggling with Complex Emotional Difficulties and Eating Disorders. Here I deepened my insight into Complex PTSD, Neurodiversity and high levels of risk.
To help those that are struggling with pain, burn out and stress, I am training in a gentle and body orientated therapy called Somatic Experiencing.
Being an Integrative Psychiatrists, and encompass life style factors in the assessment of your well being.
I believe I can make a real difference in your life.
I look forward to meeting you.

Somatic Experiencing®
"Healing one Nervous System at a time.."
A treatment where we try and bring stillness and flow into your body one moment at a time.
We notice how your body works, how we can support it to get back into flow, as the locked in thoughts, feelings and memories gently come to the surface.
A trauma informed treatment for Burn Out, PTSD, stress and anxiety, physical traumas, falls, surgeries and pain,
Using imagery, imagination, movement and meditation, we clear transgenerational and personal trauma.
Due to being a trainee in my second year, I am offering sessions for £70.
