Leigh Morgan Clinical Psychologist

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was pioneered by early psychologists and psychiatrists who identified thoughts as a significant factor affecting our wellbeing. Two such pioneers, Dr Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis both described a treatment that helps a person to understand how their unhelpful thoughts might lead to distressing feelings and behaviours and to learn more supportive skills and strategies to manage emotional distress.

Our bedwetting program is effective in supporting 98% children and adolescents to become dry within 6-8 weeks in a positive and manageable way. Children and adolescents report feeling more confident and parents report a significant reduction in stress and anxiety, as well as less washing of bed linen.

Leigh is a clinical psychologist who has worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families for more than 20 years. Leigh is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia with an endorsement for Clinical Psychology and is a member of the Australian Psychological Association and American Psychological Association.

Often a child or adult presents with a variety of difficulties, a comprehensive assessment can often provide a 'culture of understanding' about the child or client. This is helpful because it allows the individual to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
