Leona was referred by my solicitor and working with her was fantastic. She was very skillful, assisted me a lot and in detail explained the anger management techniques and we did role-plays and practice. I achieved my goals. I learnt a lot of anger management skills for life and my future relationships. Her report was very detailed and well presented.

MALE AGE RANGE 35 – 45 ANGER ISSUES
I came to see Leona to get my anger in check because I was getting in trouble losing relationships. Leona helped me a lot. She made me cry the first time I saw her, and I don't cry, so I trusted her. She was good, I got on with her and she appeared genuine as well. I learnt a lot and the sessions helped me.

FEMALE AGE RANGE 15 – 25 PANIC ATTACKS
I was really overwhelmed, not in a great place with panic attacks. The sessions with Leona were good. I gained confidence, found ways to cope with my stress and anxiety and my panic attacks have gone away for the time being.

Female Age Range 50-60 Stress Management Low Self-Esteem Sessions
I felt stressed and suffered long-term stress, work-life balance issues, I was tearful and wound up, I had low self-esteem and I felt worthless.

Age 35 – 45 Domestic Violence, Dependency issues, Depersonalisation, Depression, Burnout
I was totally confused and didn’t know who I was and what to do. Leona made me feel at ease in a non judgmental environment. This was very important at that time because I was very anxious and scared. The thing I value the most about Leona is that she cares about what she does. Unfortunately, this is an uncommon quality. I respect her and she respects me. I feel I have more command of my life and I am more in contact with myself.

Age 25 – 35 Job Loss, Low Confidence, Depression
I lost my job, and was betrayed by a friend in quick succession, leaving me lost and broken and feeling like a complete failure. I had lost all status attributed to my career, with no support network as I had a bad relationship with my parents and little trust towards my friends. I felt ugly, ashamed and lacking self-worth. I couldn’t sleep, and I couldn’t stop crying and avoided going out. I appreciated Leona’s straight talking, objectively identifying my issues and dealing with e...

Age 5 – 15 School Bullying, Poor School Management, Depression
Normally, I don’t like to come to places like these, because I went to two places before and they were terrible rubbish and I thought you might be rubbish as well. I was forced by my parents to come and now thanks to you my life is better. Before I got better, I was terrible, I was unpopular, I was invisible, I was heartbroken, I felt cold, lonely and I saw no point speaking to my parents about it because they could not resolve it. When I started seeing you some things improved. I have friends...

I was dealing with marital issues, anxiety, change of environment and insomnia and I decided to use Leona's services due to her specialisation.
