About Leonie

Leonie holds a Master’s degree in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary, which enables her to integrate evidence-based psychological methods with biblical principles. She recognizes that wisdom is ultimately derived from God (Prov 2:6), and believes lasting change occurs through God’s grace (John 15:5).

In addition to providing individual counselling, Leonie has worked within a psychiatric hospital, gaining valuable experience in addressing acute mental health symptoms and cases such as suicidal ideation, bipolar episodes, and psychosis.
