About Leib

Leib 'Liam' Goldman is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. He keeps sessions relaxed and approachable so people feel heard. Liam brings three years of clinical experience and a straightforward way of working that helps clients take manageable steps forward.

He begins by listening to someone’s story and building from their strengths. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. He uses clear tools to manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and issues around identity and relationships.

Liam draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and acceptance-based work. He includes dialectical behaviour ideas where emotional regulation and impulsivity are a challenge. This blend aims to help people build skills and tackle practical problems in daily life.

He has experience supporting people with trauma and serious mental health concerns, and he combines trauma-aware practice with skill-building. Liam also helps with career questions, grief, intimacy-related worries, and specific concerns such as attention difficulties, body image and loneliness.

People working with him can expect clear goals, short-term tools and ongoing conversation about what is helping. He invites a sense of humour alongside honest work, and supports clients to move at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it helps clarify personal values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and provides straightforward techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and support stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Liam will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques fit best. He views therapy as collaborative, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and as needs change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer phone sessions for lower bandwidth or quicker access. Liam will talk through practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life and goals.
