Leanne Thomas
I’m a qualified counsellor at A Sharp Mindset. I hold study majors and certification in Menopause, Grief, Relationship Counselling and Coaching and ADHD Coaching.
I bring over 40 years of lived experience to the team, supporting individuals through trauma, grief, and significant life challenges.
My passion is supporting and empowering women from ages 12 to 90.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental and I always aim to create a safe and welcoming space, whether sessions are in person or online.
I use practical, evidence-based therapies—including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy—always tailored to each person’s unique needs, and strengths, as we work together towards your goals.
I work respectfully with people from all backgrounds and place strong importance on confidentiality, trust, and genuine care. I look forward to meeting and supporting you in the best way I can.

Sincerely,
Leanne Thomas

My background is in community sport, family life, leadership, and mentoring, and that really shapes how I approach counselling. I’m practical, down-to-earth, and genuinely people-focused. I care deeply about helping people experience both mental and physical wellbeing, and about creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and able to be yourself — without having to perform or explain who you are.
I work with men, women, adolescents, and families as they navigate life’s ups and downs — whether that’s stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or seasons of change that feel overwhelming or uncertain.
Sessions with me are relaxed and conversational. There’s no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation to have all the right words. We take things at your pace, focusing on building real connection, confidence, and resilience, so you can move forward feeling supported and stronger than when you came in.
I offer sessions in-office, outdoors, or online — whatever feels most comfortable and works best for you.
You don’t have to do life on your own. I’d be glad to walk alongside you.
Sincerely
Nick Malone
About Jamie Sharp
I’m a 51 year old family man with an amazing wife of 22 years. Together we have 3 wonderful children aged 25, 20 and 17. I’ve discovered through these years the value of investing in my marriage and being actively engaged in my
Children’s lives. On this side of the journey, those investments are paying off.
While I believe I am very blessed, I’m not immune to trials. At the age of 40 I was diagnosed with cancer and while going through chemotherapy, I developed a cancer induced clot, which blocked my heart, then passed into my lung, causing substantial damage. Through this season I discovered the strength and peace from my faith, and the benefits of relying on other supports to help navigate my journey of anxiety and fatigue to wellness.
I’m described by others as being down to earth, caring and wise, (I agree with this mostly, however sometimes I have my doubts about the wise part, that’s why I’m keen for you to make your own decisions).
I believe Counselling is best as relationship built on confidentiality, mutual respect and open communication, with the intention of helping people clarify and identify their problems and to find their own solutions. I am passionate about helping others.
As long as I can remember it’s been a natural pattern that people would open up to me discussing things from their lives and often finished with the words “I’m not sure why I just told you all that, but I’ve never spoken about it with anyone before. Thanks for listening.”
I consider it a great honour to build a connection with people where they feel safe to openly express their experiences and emotions in confidence and then be invited on the journey into the space where they find direction and hope.
I really value love. I think love is an undervalued currency and commodity that often lacks in the world around us. I really hope for you to experience the caring, comforting, confidence, connection and sometimes correction that love brings.
As part of this journey, if you laugh, I’ll laugh, and if you cry, which usually happens, I’ll usually cry too. That’s because I engage with your journey intensely and listen to you, hearing the emotion and feeling you express with empathy while seeking to understand what you’re really going through.
Over the years, journeying with families through youth work, pastoral care and school chaplaincy I believe the skills I’ve developed help me to understand each individuals unique experience. This enhances the counselling services I offer. I really enjoy journeying with all people through their trials and testing to a place of success and health.
One of my professional strengths which lines up with my ethical responsibility and value of integrity, is the ability to recognise when another service provider will be a better support than I will. But it doesn’t mean I don’t care or the journey with me has finished, often I’ll journey with you to your next support and beyond if it’s best for you.
So why A Sharp Mindset? The name is a play on words which uses my surname. No you don’t have to think like me. I believe the logo, demonstrates my playful personality while communicating professionalism and purpose. The light bulb symbolises ideas, while reflecting my true belief that A Sharp Mindset is a Great Asset. When we are Sharp in mind, it often leads to better decisions and motivated actions towards desired outcomes.
As a client of A Sharp Mindset you can expect the best service I can offer every single session. I’m looking forward to meeting you and journeying with you to health, wholeness, wellness, confidence and success.
Sincerely,
Jamie Sharp.
