Dr. Leanne Campbell is co-director of the Vancouver Island Centre for EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Campbell & Fairweather Psychology Group. She is also an Honourary Research Associate of Vancouver Island University.

Trained in the early 1990s by Dr. Sue Johnson, Leanne has continued to work in the EFT model since that time and has provided psychotherapy services to hundreds of individuals, couples, and families over the past three decades.

By request, Dr. Campbell also provides personalized, results-driven ‘intensives’ (i.e., boot camps) for couples who are motivated to improve their relationship and/or address attachment injuries related to infidelity, other significant life events, and/or transitions such as loss or trauma.

Known for her expertise in trauma, Leanne Campbell has provided hundreds of psychological assessment reports for forensic, legal, and personal injury matters being considered before various levels of the court system. She is also regularly called upon to provide expert opinion as well as psychological evaluations for various insurance companies and bodies involved in adjudicating personal injury and other trauma-based claims.

In addition to maintaining a full-time private practice with a primary focus on relationship strain, trauma, grief, and loss, Leanne currently co-manages a multi-site practice comprised of 25 clinicians and is a site co-ordinator for an Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) outcome study.

An active ICEEFT Certified Trainer, Dr. Campbell trains professionals around the globe and is involved in the development of various materials, including DVDs, online educational/training programs, books, workbooks, and articles. Most recently, she co-authored the first basic EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) text with Dr. Sue Johnson, A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): Cultivating Fitness and Growth in Every Client (Routledge, 2021), as well as a workbook for therapists training in EFT (see Furrow et al., Routledge, 2022).

Leanne Campbell is well-known for her warmth and ability to develop strong therapeutic alliances with clients that helps them explore and shift from distressing cycles of interaction to closeness and understanding.
