When I first started seeing Leah I had already been in counselling for 13ish years. I had a string of serious mental health admissions prior to coming to see her and I was in a bad place.
Leah was the person who helped me turn all of that around. She has the right balance of real talk, tough love, humour, compassion, empathy and has such incredible insights into a range of mental health issues from children to adults.
I have been seeing Leah now for about 6 years and I credit her with providing me with the right skills to manage the darkest moments. My mental health issues are deep and complex, but with Leah at my side I know I can get through anything. She is the best cheerleader you could find, and somehow always has the right analogy to help me find perspective. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a real person to talk to, who cares and is an amazing woman. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be here today writing this review if it wasn’t for her.

Leah has been an incredible support through some of the most challenging times. Initially, I was reluctant to open up, but from the very first session, I felt understood and supported. Leah has the unique ability to create a safe and inviting space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her approach is both empathetic and professional, providing practical tools and strategies to help navigate life's challenges. Leah is a psychologist who genuinely cares for her patients, and her dedication shines through in every session. I cannot recommend Leah enough. More...

I am a General Practitioner. I have been referring patients to 3 Ducks Psychology – that is Ms Leah Dodsworth for 15 years.
Her service has been most highly valued and is an integral part of my Practice management of psychological disorders. Ms Dodsworth has significant skills in Psychotherapy that is used across a broad range of psychological disorders. With compassion and commitment, she engages easily to establish a high level of rapport with patients. The value of Ms Dodsworth clinical ability is reflected by my patient’s gratitude towards her. The contemporary nature of the practice is further underlined using her psychotherapy skills in collaboration with Psychiatrists involving new emergent therapies for treatment resistant Depression and PTSD.
Ms Dodsworth responds to referrals with informative and educational letters. She is always available to discuss clinical concerns. She has left an indelible mark across the Riverina in NSW for both General Practitioners and Patients alike.

Leah was very approachable and made me comfortable straight away. She is knowledgeable and compassionate and I’m so glad I found her. Talking to her got me through the darkest point in my life. I have recommended her to a number of people I know. More...

Leah has been fantastic supporting my three children through some turbulent years. Her professionalism, easy manner and insight into what makes them tick, has without doubt had a profound impact on where my children are now. Leah adjusts her approach to meet the needs of her patients and caters to their personalities. I firmly believe that without the professional support that Leah has provided, one of my children wouldn’t have made it through high school or be the happy young adult they are today. More...
