Leonora has substantial experience working across numerous mental health settings in the NHS.

In her current NHS role, Leonora works in a community mental health team with adults with severe and enduring mental health difficulties, including complex trauma, personality disorders, psychosis and bipolar. Leonora is experienced delivering both short and long-term interventions to individuals and groups. 

Leonora’s clinical work is guided by scientific theory and National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines. She seeks to create a supportive and safe therapeutic space for her clients to express themselves. She is a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate clinician who works alongside her clients to support them to access their personal strengths and resources, and work towards their goals. She places importance on taking a person-centred approach to developing a shared understanding of an individual’s difficulties, in the context of their current situation and past experiences.
