About Leigh Kennedy
Leigh is a Trauma-Informed Holistic Counsellor and PBSP Practitioner with over 20 years of experience supporting emotional awareness, personal development and wellbeing.
For over 13 years, she has specialised in holistic counselling and artistic therapies that encourage emotional expression, self-awareness and emotional regulation. She has also spent the past five years training in Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP), a body-based, attachment-focused approach to emotional healing and psychological development.
Her work combines creative approaches and trauma-informed principles to help people better understand emotions, recognise psychological needs and build healthier connections.
Through her Kindy program, Leigh works with Queensland Kindy directors and early childhood educator teams to strengthen their understanding of children's emotional needs, build educator confidence and create emotionally safe learning environments.
Her approach is practical, research-informed and designed for real-world early childhood settings, providing strategies educators can confidently apply in their everyday practice.
Beyond her work, she’s a mum, grandmother and creative at heart. She finds inspiration in nature, art, crafting and everyday moments of connection. Her passion for creativity is reflected in her work, where artistic expression plays an important role in supporting emotional understanding and personal growth.
At Amdora Therapies, Leigh brings together her experience as a Trauma-Informed Holistic Counsellor and PBSP Practitioner, combining creativity and professional knowledge to support emotional wellbeing, learning and meaningful connections.
