Empathic yet pragmatic. Helped me through a period of extreme decision fatigue, stress, and uncertainty. Advice was grounded, calm and delivered at the time and pace needed for it to be received and processed. Would highly recommend

Luise Sargent is a very professional and skilled therapist and she helped us find our original balance in the relationship. We are so grateful for these sessions at the Leone Centre and highly recommend her. We learned how to communicate again and she also gave us some very useful wellbeing tips. Her approach and guidance were exactly what we needed to restore a calm and constructive family dialogue. Thank you Luise!

Excellent - professional , ethical and educated. Cris Vrech is an experienced, bi lingual therapist with a considerable client portfolio. The Leone Centre is of especial use to those requiring cross cultural therapy - essential in a multi cultural city such as London. I endorse.

Thank you so much for the care and help you gave me. I had never had counselling before and being of the 'older generation' where one was supposed to 'pull yourself together' and 'get on with it', I was dubious about how you could help. Your highly skilled and kind therapist has completely changed me! I am now much more positive and have the tools, that if I do dip down again, to use to help me. Thank you! I highly recommend the Leone Centre. Don't hesitate. Contact them and experience for yourself.

I completed my sessions with Cristina Vrech and would highly recommend her. I felt that for the first time someone was reaching me and I was able to navigate my thoughts and understand my issues. Leone Centre was efficient and arranged my initial appointment in a timely manner, responding to all of my queries.
