Alexia Leachman

World-Leading Expert in Anxiety

& Tokophobia Recovery

Alexia Leachman is a globally recognised expert in anxiety, phobias, and trauma recovery, with a particular focus on tokophobia—the extreme fear of pregnancy and birth.

For over a decade, she has helped thousands of people worldwide overcome anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, and deep-seated fears that have shaped their lives for years. Many of her clients seek her out because they consider her to be the world’s leading expert on tokophobia — a title she now fully owns.

Anxiety, Tokophobia & The Root of Fear

Anxiety disorders manifest in many ways—chronic worry, panic, OCD, fear of losing control, medical anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and phobias. Tokophobia is no different. Despite its misleading name, tokophobia isn’t just a fear — it’s an anxiety disorder.

And that’s why traditional approaches — CBT, exposure therapy, and talk therapy — often fail. You can’t “talk” your way out of deep-rooted anxiety. It needs to be cleared at its source.

This is where Alexia’s work stands apart. She specialises in treating anxiety at its deepest level — so it doesn’t just fade, it’s gone.

Her journey: From Anxiety to Healing

Alexia understands anxiety not just as a practitioner, but as someone who has lived it.

She suffered from tokophobia, OCD, and severe anxiety for much of her life. The idea of pregnancy or birth triggered panic and revulsion. She avoided conversations about babies, recoiled at the sight of pregnant women, and lived in constant fear of losing control.

But her fear didn’t stop there — like many with tokophobia, she also struggled with overthinking, intrusive thoughts, and an overwhelming need for certainty and control.

Then, she healed it.

And in doing so, she developed a method that has since helped thousands of people worldwide—freeing them from fear, anxiety, and OCD in weeks, not years.
