Blanka Leeker

I believe that a supportive therapeutic relationship can be the springboard from which many life issues can be addressed and healed. I am committed to your growth and the changes you want to make in your life. I have always been fascinated with what therapy can do, so I have trained in different approaches; Systems Theory, CBT, Psychodrama, Transpersonal and Gestalt Therapy. These trainings have enriched my skills and I continue to keep learning and absorbing new techniques.
