Leandri Van Romburgh

Leandri van Romburgh is a trainee Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist (PRT) delivering integrative therapy at The Awareness Centre’s low cost counselling service in Clapham. She is working towards her Diploma in PRT, and has experience of working with clients in the NHS.

Leandri creates a safe environment where thinking and behavioural patterns can be explored without judgement or preconceived notions of ‘normal’, and then draws on multiple therapeutic modalities including Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and CBT to gain a deeper personalised understanding of the presenting challenges. With a solid and extensive medical background, Leandri has a thorough understanding of how the body and the mind are intertwined, and this offers an entirely different perspective to working with sexual dysfunction. Her special interest is in people living with long term medical conditions that impact activities of daily living. Working in the medical and therapeutic arena has, among other things, allowed Leandri to develop her communication skills and solidified her notion of people having their own agency.

With a long career in gynaecology and with specialist training in Endometriosis and conditions related to this diagnosis, Leandri’s interest in holistic intervention aimed at those people whom present with sexual dysfunction, was ignited. Her combined professional experiences may be beneficial to both individuals and couples presenting with anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunctions and relationship difficulties. Leandri works within the boundaries of the NMC and COSRT governing bodies, and is able to deliver therapy in Afrikaans and English.
