Hi! I'm Leanne

Hi! I'm Warren
I'm the counsellor
One of my main passions in life is helping people achieve good mental health .
I believe that with the correct understanding and processing of your diabetes, it can be easier to live with and manage.
People often underplay the impact that diabetes has on every day living and on their mental health. This course is a great opportunity to discuss and deal with the various aspects of your diabetes. You will be in a space with people who are on similar journeys and will be able to openly discuss your experiences with people who truly understand what you are going through .
Our 12 week course offers sessions where I will facilitate discussions around various aspects of your diabetes and how to emotionally cope with these issues.
If you are feeling like this is the support that you need then The Diabetes Advantage is the family you are looking for!
I am looking forward to joining you on this journey and can't wait to meet you
