About Leah Spasova
Talking, Teaching and Coaching about Healthy Relationships since 2007
Hey there, I’m Leah
I specialise in sex(uality) and relationships, drawing on a background in psychology and counselling alongside extensive experience in coaching, mental health, personal development and group dynamics.
I also have formal training in education and training, and have rich experience in working in educational settings as well as directly with individuals, couples and groups.
My work sits at the intersection of several disciplines. I use psychology to help my clients make sense of patterns, behaviour, emotions and relationship dynamics; coaching to help them move from insight into action and change; and therapeutic approaches and counselling skills to create the space for deeper reflection, processing and growth when that is what the work calls for. I also draw heavily on personal-development work, practical education and skills-building, because understanding why something happens is useful — but knowing what to do differently matters too.
I sometimes joke that with me you get a bit of a three-in-one professional: someone who is psychology-informed, coaching-led and therapeutically grounded. I don’t believe people fit neatly into one method or one professional box, and I don’t work from a rigid script. I bring together different approaches depending on the person, the relationship, the problem and what will actually be useful.
A big part of my work has always been about the cultivation of healthy relationships — with partners, with other people and with ourselves. I’m fascinated by how people relate, how power and group dynamics shape behaviour, how people grow, and how better understanding can help us make better choices in both our private lives and the wider systems we live within.
My philosophy is simple: we live to learn — and when we learn, we live better. For me, growth is not about endlessly “fixing” yourself. It is about becoming more aware, more capable, more intentional and better equipped to build the kind of life and relationships you actually want.
And when it comes to sex, sexuality and relationships, no story can faze me. You are safe — I’ll get you. I will understand and not judge one bit. Your experiences are human. My job is to help you make sense of them, work through what is getting in the way, and build the fulfilling relationships and intimate life you desire and deserve.

One of the things I value about working online is the opportunity to support people across countries, cultures and very different walks of life. The countries highlighted here represent where people I’ve worked with in my private practice have been based.
Work with me online from the UK, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Canada and beyond. Pricing and invoicing in 6 major currencies, and flexible appointment times that are adapted to make working across time zones easier.
What people say about working with me...
Michelle Eic
Leah gives you the "safe space" everyone craves for. It is so easy to talk to her, to open up and let her in deep. Whether you're laughing or crying, it just feels right. No judgement, just understanding and respect, that's Leah. She helps you find your hidden thoughts and feelings, what you can work on and how. She is like your best friend, she just knows what you're talking about and it feels like home. I'm super glad that I could share my mind with her. Thank you, Leah!

I have joined 2 of the social meetups hosted by Leah, and have enjoyed them immensely. It has been amazing discussing different topics that you usually do not discuss as openly with people every day and gaining different perspectives on issues you are interested in. Leah has done such a great job of creating this virtual space for people from all over the world to meet and interchange ideas and thoughts, and I am very thankful for that! As a host, she has provided a welcome and respectful atmosphere for people to comfortably share their thoughts and opinions, however controversial or different they might be.

Lifesexperts have provided a lot of interesting contents in an non-judgemental and open community for me, such as webinar to social events that I have always enjoyed. I have joined a couple of the social events and it was surprisingly fun and easy, I was able to discuss anything from philosophical topics to even some more taboo topics without the worries of being judged. You can easily tell that Leah is very knowledgeable in her understanding on sexuality and relationship simply by being in a conversation with her or just listening to one of her webinar. I would recommend Lifesexpert for anyone with an keen interest in sexuality or even just wanted a platform to explore life and relationship as a whole.

I always find Leah has a considered, honest and fearless perspective on the world and this comes through in her one to one sessions and also the content on Patreon.
I wish I could speak to Leah everyday and get her views on the daily and weekly occurrences in my love and sex life.

Leah's events have been exceptionally good. She has done a fantastic job of bringing excellent people together and inciting profound and moving conversation. She has also provided me with some very wise counsel, free of charge, out of simple kindness. She has a great understanding of promoting work, and of the value of social networks. I'm really glad I was lucky enough to meet her

I wish I could speak to Leah everyday and get her views on the daily and weekly occurrences in my love and sex life.
Background:
My academic and professional background spans social psychology, sexuality and relationships, mental health, group and interpersonal dynamics, cultural diversity, and personal development.
My earlier days in mental health included working with adults living with severe and enduring mental health conditions, as well as work with women and children affected by domestic and sexual violence, abuse and human trafficking. This gave me substantial experience with complex needs, challenging behaviour, vulnerability, risk, trauma and relationship dynamics.
My work today brings that foundation into sex and relationship coaching, drawing on psychology-informed thinking, counselling skills, therapeutic approaches and practical behaviour-change strategies. My additional training includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychotherapy, Safeguarding, Sexuality and Relationship Education, Integrative Somatic Trauma as well as Parts Work (IFS) approaches.
I also have formal training and experience in Education and Training, and have delivered teaching, workshops, talks and psychoeducational resources for individuals, couples and groups - in communities, universities and businesses.
