Hi, I’m Leona

Over more than three decades as a senior leader in the recruitment industry, an executive coach, RTT therapist, writer, mum of two extraordinary teenagers, and lifelong student of human behaviour, I've spent much of my life alongside people navigating change, uncertainty and the challenges that life inevitably brings.

Unloop builds on all of that experience, but it has been shaped and accelerated by witnessing firsthand the terrifying impact that getting stuck in our minds can have on individuals, families and communities. I've seen how quickly looping thoughts can take hold, how overwhelming they can become, and how devastating it can feel when you can't see a way through. I've also experienced the ripple effect on those who love and care about us. No one should feel alone in their mind, with nowhere to land and no way to unloop. That's why this work matters so deeply to me.

What I've learned is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. No one tool. No one therapeutic model. No single piece of information that changes everything. But there is a starting place, and it begins with space. Space to slow down, hear yourself more clearly, and reconnect with what you already know underneath the noise. My role isn't to fix you. It's to walk alongside you with curiosity, empathy and hope while you find your own way forward.

What helps me unloop?

  • Dancing — anywhere (bonus points if it's a field with friends).

  • Singing loudly in the car (with a particular love of flash mobs).

  • Being in nature — wild cliffs, big skies, sea air and mountains. Alone or with friends.

  • Walking. Just being connected to it all.

  • Being with friends and family — sharing food, stories, laughter, tears and everything in between.

  • Art — especially fin de siècle.

  • Writing — funny stories to make children laugh. (Is there a better sound?) — explore my writing

If any of this resonates, I'd love to meet you.

There is a way forward.

Let's unloop your thinking and find your way forward. Together.
