Our Story, Born from the idea of creating a service that integrates the best of counselling and therapy with organisational consultancy, Leone Centre was founded by Alison Wragg and Cristina Vrech in 2009.
Their common goal was to craft a systemic, integrative and holistic approach to working with individuals, couples, teams, companies and organisations. Through a blend of soulful and holistic approaches and organisational consultancy perspectives, Leone Centre has gone on to offer a variety of unique services.
About Cristina
Cristina had extensive and diverse professional experience before becoming a counsellor. She worked for several years in the financial sector in London before starting her counselling and psychotherapy training.
As part of her journey towards creating the Leone Centre, she held several counselling positions, including working for one of the leading UK addiction counselling and therapy services.
She also worked as a mental health advisor for a charity-based organisation in Westminster and as an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate before moving on to work as a private counsellor and psychotherapist in London for both individuals and couples. Â She now directs the Individual, Couple Therapy and Energy Work sectors within Leone Centre.
About Alison
Alison’s experience in counselling and coaching goes beyond Leone Centre. An Organisational Consultant, Coach, Therapist, Senior Leader and Visiting Tutor, she has been working with people from all walks of life both within and outside of organisational settings for over 25 years, which has led her to direct the Corporate Services at Leone Centre.
Alison works with individuals and with team dynamics to overcome blockages that might be getting in the way. This might include stress-related issues, relationship difficulties, burnout or difficulties in balancing the pressures of home and work life. Â Alison also works as a senior leader and manager in NHS Secondary Mental Health Services, bringing first-hand knowledge and experience of the pressures involved in taking up leadership roles in highly pressured environments.
