Leonie Hehir is a Psychologist based in Melbourne, working out of the Queen Victoria Building. Her practice is at 23 QV Terrace, 292 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
Leonie helps people in everyday, real-life situations. That might include feeling anxious, dealing with low mood, managing stress, or getting stuck in the same patterns that keep feeling hard to shift. In many cases, it’s not one big problem. It’s a mix of thoughts, routines, and the way things play out at home, work, or in relationships.
She offers individual therapy sessions for people who want a safe space to talk things through. Sessions can also suit people who are looking for more practical tools, not just talking. At times, goals are small and clear, like learning how to calm your mind when it races, or making a change that helps you feel steadier day to day.
Leonie also works with couples and families. Relationship support is often about communication, trust, and understanding how emotions land in the middle of conflict. Family therapy can help when everyone is under pressure, and when the same arguments keep coming back. It’s usually not about blame. It’s more about finding a better way to move forward together.
Her work includes behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviours connect, and how you can build skills to make life feel more manageable. Behavioral therapy looks at the actions you take and how small changes can shift how you feel. Over time, many people find these approaches make their problems feel less overwhelming.
If you’re not sure what kind of support fits, that’s okay. Leonie can help you talk through what’s going on and what you want to change. You’ll be guided at a pace that feels realistic, with clear next steps where needed.
