About Leib
Leib 'Liam' Goldman is an AASW accredited social worker who focuses on practical, person-centred care. He keeps things direct and relaxed so people can talk about what matters. He aims to help with everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Liam draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behaviour skills and mindfulness. He uses simple tools to help people manage distress, notice unhelpful thinking and build routines that support rest and functioning. Sessions are calm and straightforward rather than full of jargon.
He has three years of experience and has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, ADHD, self-esteem and grief. Liam also helps with relationship issues, career questions and the life changes that can make sleep and routine harder.
In conversation he focuses on listening first, then working together to try small, manageable changes. He pays attention to strengths and builds on what already works for each person. His style is warm and down-to-earth with a touch of humour.
If someone is struggling with sleeping, anxiety, or coping after a big change, Liam helps them find clearer steps to try. He encourages pace and choice, and supports clients to discover what fits their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and small actions that move someone toward a chosen life. It helps when sleep issues or anxiety get in the way of daily goals by focusing on what matters and practical steps to take. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviours and routines influence mood and sleep. It offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve rest. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and help with falling and staying asleep.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try, review how they work, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person's life.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try techniques in the context of their usual routines, such as practising sleep hygiene and relaxation where they live, while working with an AASW-accredited social worker to tailor the approach.
