Meet Leigh Milne
Registered Psychologist,
Clinical Hypnotherapist,
Couples Therapist,
Psychosomatic Therapist
Welcome to a journey of transformation and healing.
I experienced my own trauma & PTSD that changed the trajectory of my life. Awareness of the interconnectedness of mind-body-spirit and integrating a holistic and evidence-based approach aided my recovery and is now the foundation of my practice. As a dedicated psychologist, couples therapist, psychosomatic bodywork therapist and psychosomatic face and body language interpreter, I help individuals & couples decode and work through the internal beliefs and messages shaped by trauma, negative events and life distress.

Psychological Therapy
Our work is deeply trauma-informed and somatically aware, supporting you to process memories, support nervous system regulation, and rebuild your sense of agency and safety.
Through compassionate psychological therapy and somatic integration, we help you reconnect with your body, calm the inner chaos, and find your way back to peace.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a mind–body modality that many people find helpful for working with subconscious patterns—especially when you feel stuck in habits that are hard to change.
…hypnotherapy may help calm the nervous system, shift unhelpful beliefs, reduce self-sabotage and support new, embodied ways of responding

Face & Body Decoding
Our bodies tell the truth—sometimes before we’re consciously aware. This unique offering helps you helps you explore how your body may reflect your emotional experiences. Ideal for those feeling stuck, unclear, or curious about the unconscious patterns stored in their posture, muscles, and expression. Insightful, integrative, and deeply empowering.
You are not 'broken' and I am not here to fix you!
I walk beside you—to help you decode the messages your body holds, shift the internal beliefs shaped by trauma, and gently guide you back to your most authentic, empowered self.
Transcending Trauma offers a deeply compassionate and grounded space whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode.
Offering evidence-based psychological practices and holistic, somatic therapies, Leigh supports you to awaken, embody and become aware, gently reconnecting with your mind-body-spirit, supporting nervous system regulation, and fostering a sense of safety, balance, and inner strength. This approach enhances talk therapy—it’s about learning to feel at home in your body again, releasing what no longer serves you, and reclaiming agency over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
Together, you’ll build the tools and resilience needed to move through life with more clarity, calm, and confidence. This is your space to heal, grow, and rediscover who you truly are—beyond the trauma, beyond the pain.

The Issue Is In the Tissue
Supporting people living with trauma, anxiety and depression through a psycho-somatic, transpersonal approach involves reconnecting with your innate body–mind intelligence and wiser-self to support your innate capacity for healing and growth, empowerment, and transformation across spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical dimensions. I support you to explore and work through unhelpful beliefs, emotional patterns, behaviours and lifestyle factors that may be influencing your wellbeing. Through gentle mind-body approaches, we can also work with areas of muscular tension and protective bodily patterns often associated with stress or past experiences, helping you increase awareness, regulation and connection with your body.
In a safe, empathetic, and compassionate space, I invite you to work with me to become embodied, aware, de-armoured and reconnected to your authentic self. This process allows you to feel seen, heard, respected, and understood while navigating the journey towards healing and personal growth.
