Train in a methodology built to operate underneath talk, insight, and strategy.

Head Trash Clearance is a fast, structured, measurable healing method. For therapists who recognise the limit of talk-based work. For coaches whose clients gain insight and still can't execute. For helpers from every other path who want a method that produces structural change — not just understanding.

Trained as Level 1 (personal use), Level 2 (practitioner certification), and Level 3 (specialist pathways). Built over sixteen years. Backed by four books, three podcasts with nearly two million combined downloads, and a growing Practitioner Network across clinical, coaching, and organisational practice.

The Method

What Head Trash Clearance does.

HTC addresses the structural emotional charge that maintains patterns after insight, regulation, and strategy have done what they can. The method works by holding paired polarity statements across six dimensions of where charge can live, while applying a specific acupressure point — the Tapas Acupressure Technique pose, well-documented in trauma research. The technique clears the structural anchor of the charge without requiring the client to relive the wound. Fast, gentle, repeatable, measurable.

1

Clearance

Recalibrates the emotional charge driving patterns, blocks, and reactivity. The core operation — fast, structured, and repeatable.

2

Absolute Healing

Resolves wound-level architecture — the inherited, biographical, and systemic material that clearance alone can't reach.

3

Ladder of Growth

The psychometric measurement system that tracks internal shift over time — comparable in shape to DISC or StrengthsFinder, applied to the architecture of the Emotional Operating System.

The method was built by a trained coach — structurally goal-oriented, with measurement baked in, designed from the start to work across 1:1 sessions, group programmes, digital products, and live one-to-many delivery.

Who This Is For

Find your route in.

HTC training is open to practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds — clinical, coaching, organisational, and other helping paths. Each audience has its own entry point:

For Therapists

For psychotherapists, counsellors, trauma therapists, clinical social workers, and clinicians who recognise the limit of talk-based work and want a tool that operates beyond it. HTC integrates cleanly with existing modalities and adds a self-care layer that addresses practitioner burnout.

For Therapists →

For Coaches

For life, executive, business, performance, mindset, and somatic coaches whose clients gain insight and still can't execute. HTC was built by a trained coach — goal-oriented, structurally GROW-compatible, scales beyond 1:1 into group programmes and digital products.

For Coaches →

For Helpers from Other Paths

For corporate professionals pivoting into helping work. For yoga teachers, personal trainers, and other experts who help people implement. For HR leaders and team managers bringing this work into organisations. You don't need to be a therapist or coach — you need a method that bolts onto what you already do.

For Helpers →

The Ecosystem

You don't just learn a method. You join an ecosystem.

Most certifications hand you a technique and a certificate. HTC training is structured differently. Practitioners who train in HTC enter an established ecosystem with the tools, brand authority, marketing support, and infrastructure to build serious practices from a foundation that holds.

Four published books

Including Clear Your Head Trash and Clear Your Anxiety For Good (2025). Brand authority your clients can read independently.

Three podcasts

Nearly two million combined downloads — Head Trash & Healing Show, Fear Free Childbirth, Tik-Tokophobia. Active audiences finding the work through the brand.

Practitioner Network

Community of certified HTC practitioners across clinical, coaching, and organisational contexts. Quarterly workshops, referral structure, peer supervision.

Client-ready tools

Templates, scripts, frameworks, healing activations, plus the Clearance Club — a paid client community you can recommend alongside your 1:1 work.

Measurement architecture

Ladder of Growth psychometric instruments bundled with your training, available for client work after certification.

Marketing support

From an actual marketer — Alexia spent fifteen years in consumer sales and marketing. Practice-building woven through Level 2 training and quarterly workshops.

The self-care layer — the piece most certifications don't include

HTC is self-led. You learn the method by clearing your own head trash, and you walk away from Level 1 with a tool you can use on yourself for the rest of your working life. Practitioners trained in HTC don't carry client material home in the way most helping professionals do. If something hooks into you in a session, you clear it the same day; the hook doesn't accumulate.

This matters disproportionately for practitioners working with heavy material. The career arc of someone who isn't carrying client material is different from the career arc of someone who is.

Scales beyond 1:1

HTC works in formats most therapeutic and coaching modalities can't reach — 1:1 sessions, group programmes with cohort dynamics, digital products that deliver the actual work, and live one-to-many clearance on Zoom with comparable session efficacy to 1:1 work.

For practitioners feeling the ceiling of the hours-for-money model, HTC opens up multiple delivery formats matched to different client price points. Each format produces real results; nothing is watered down.

You focus on being an incredible practitioner. The ecosystem handles the rest.

Practitioners

From practitioners who've trained.

HTC flips the script. Instead of waiting for stuff to emerge and having to drag it out of someone's subconscious, the method brings it to the surface instantly — and then I can use my training, my attachment theory, my insight, all of it. I come out of sessions feeling lighter, not draining.

Leah King Clinical Social Worker (US-licensed), HTC Therapeutic Lead

I could propose this to any of my clients, no matter their beliefs or limitations. I can handle anything they throw at me. The journey one client can take with me has expanded. Right after a clearance, the person looks different. The way they move, the way they breathe.

I wish I had discovered this 10 years ago — I would have saved myself $70k in therapy training.

Leah Psychotherapist

As someone who has been seeking freedom from my emotional baggage for over 25 years, this is without doubt the jewel in the crown.

Michele Walsh Success Coach (Ms Money Maker)

Alexia took our very mixed-background group on a thorough introduction to a simple 5-step process. I could feel changes happening in myself as well as witnessing a softening, neutrality replace concerns and inner conflict, in the space of one short session.

Julie-Anne Mullan Pregnancy & Birth Therapist

HTC is the Carlsberg of therapy; probably the best in the world.

The Architect

Built by Alexia Leachman.

Head Trash Clearance was developed by Alexia Leachman over sixteen years of clinical and coaching application. Her background — fifteen years in consumer sales and marketing, trained as a coach at the Coaching Academy, trained in NLP and Thought Field Therapy, head tutor on Oxford's disruptive digital marketing programme — shaped the method in concrete ways. HTC is goal-oriented because she was a coach. Built around measurement because she was a marketer. Structured for scalability because she was a brand builder.

Author of four books. Host of three podcasts including Fear Free Childbirth (1.8M downloads). Solo founder, based in France, who declined significant investment to retain full control of the methodology.
