Needle phobia (trypanophobia)
Leo was amazing with my 12 year-old girl who had been suffering trypanophobia for years, to a point she would faint on multiple occasions just at the thought of a needle.
It took only one session with Leo for the phobia to dissipate and lose its power over Eve, who felt confident soon after to attend a medical appointment that involved two vaccinations. No fainting!
Eve felt so proud of herself. She enjoyed the process of working with Leo and felt it was such a positive experience.
I definitely recommend Leo; compassionate and kind, she really enables you to move forward.

Fear of public speaking
Leo, you'll be happy to hear that I had that big presentation today and it went great.
No panic at all leading up to it. Mouth didn't get dry, just ripped right through it and felt great. I could cry. Thank you so much"

Extreme anxiety, low boundaries, fear and guilt in a toxic relationship.
I am doing so much better, thank you Leo. After learning to gradually set and enforce boundaries, I've finally managed to cut all contact with "friend" without experiencing any guilt.
I am now free from the constant harassment and mind games, I am emotionally detached from this person and it is amazing.
Thank you so much for the sessions, they were absolutely the catalyst for my seeing and understanding of what was happening to me."

Anger and harmful behaviour - 10 year-old boy.
It took only a few sessions with Leo to see a meaningful difference in my son’s behaviour and general well-being.
He had been experiencing bouts of anger and couldn’t put to words where it came from or why he was getting so angry. In the very first session, Leo helped my son uncover the primary source of his frustration and anger and begin to craft a new, more positive narrative to the issue. Over the next few sessions, Leo helped him test this new narrative and explored additional issues and incidents that could have been triggering him.
He came out of these sessions much more understanding of his emotions and much calmer.
I can’t thank Leo enough for helping my son work through this and for teaching him this skill.
He is a changed boy.

Finding peace after rape.
In 7 sessions with Leo, I have achieved more than almost 3 years of therapy with a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist combined.
The perspective of my rape and what I made it mean about me has changed, and I am finally able to be at peace with it, put it to rest and move on with my life.

Annorexia, 12 year-old girl.
Leo, I don't know how your magic works but Yulia came out of your sessions so relieved and a lot more confident. When she was in hospital, your sessions became the highlight of her day.
She is now back home, a positive and happy girl and more importantly she has made peace with her body and is eating healthily again.
I cannot thank you enough for your commitment.

Anxiety, depression, substance abuse after a difficult separation.
I am proud that I woke up and reached out to Leo to finally help me put my demons to rest.
Working with her was a complete eye-opener on my relationships, my life and my limited perceptions of it.
At the time I started to work with Leo, I was numbing myself with alcohol and just surviving, watching my life pass me by as I couldn't cope with facing up to what was happening in my life and the emotions associated with it.
Leo has helped me rewire my inner talk and my way of thinking which have led me to feeling confident.
She's enabled me to actually experience and see for myself (and therefore believe it for good) that I AM enough - it is now a certitude. I now KNOW I deserve great things which leads me to make different choices.
In 37 years of life, I have just started to experience authentic happiness, and the shame that I have felt all this time with my body has left.
I love this new version of me and the fact that I can connect with my daughter better.

Sexual assault, anxiety, self-worth and confidence.
Since working with Leo I have noticed a sizeable change within myself.
The negative inner self-talk has stopped and I feel much stronger, more confident in setting boundaries and more in control generally.
I react to certain situations differently and I benefit from that. This change is a huge step forward for me.
I had psychotherapy in the past but I achieve results in a much faster way with Leo.

Deep self-worth and confidence issues stemming from having a narcissistic parent.
I initially sought work with Leo to address life-long issues with self-esteem.
I was already aware of the effects childhood trauma had on my emotional and physical health, having sought traditional therapy in the past and practised meditation.
But after only 5 sessions with Leo I could feel I was finally letting go of past memories and moving beyond the harmful self-narratives I had built from them.
Current problems that had been really causing me to suffer, suddenly didn't effect me as badly. And deep down, I slowly started to feel that, no matter what, I will be ok.
I feel more solid and rooted in my own being. Revisiting past traumas with Leo and re-wiring my relationship to those experiences, has lessened their hold over me.
.
It's extremely beneficial and it doesn't feel like you're endlessly raking over the past, but actually re-configuring your relationship to it once and for all.

Traumatic birth, postpartum depression.
Leo has shown me that after experiencing trauma, we can grow into a different, better version of ourselves and I have so much gratitude for that.
I recently decided I was ready to deal with the traumatic birth experience of my daughter and subsequent postnatal depression and anxiety that followed.
I cannot believe the impact and the difference that my first session with Leo has had on my life.
.
After just one session, I am in a completely different place in my mind. I am finally at peace when I reflect on my daughter’s birth.
All the dark emotions (sadness, anger, guilt and fear, to name a few) that had been shading my quality of life for the past three years have completly lost their hold over me.
I now also feel a lot more secure and confident with raising my daughter.
I wish every woman who has experienced trauma was made aware of Leo’s counselling work.
I am now looking forward to growing into that stronger and higher version of myself.

Fear of flying.
Leo, honestly I cannot thank you enough. I couldn’t have believed I coped as well as I did during the flight.
I would also like to thank you for being so approachable and for being so committed to my progress.

Low self-worth and anxiety in a social environment.
I approached Leo to tackle some deep issues relating to my social interactions with others.
I realise just how lucky I am to have met her, she is a game-changer of a therapist.
I consulted with psychotherapists in the past, but I must say that Leo’s approach is incredibly fast and efficient. She is gifted and excellent at what she does. We got straight to the underlying issues and it took a fraction of the usual time to solve my issues with long-lasting solutions.
Leo gave me the tools to manage future situations, it has transformed my relationship with others, and the image I had of myself in a social environment.
The sessions always felt like a safe haven.

Anxiety, self-worth, confidence, emotional abuse.
It has been really, really effective Leo! Thank you so much. Feels like a massive achievement. In three sessions I have made enormous progress and seen noticeable change in the areas I wanted. I can't wait to see where I'll be when I am done with my course of five!

Procrastination, low confidence, anxiety.
I have been struggling to keep on top of emails because work has been so good lately! Up to that point, work for me had always been slow and I was not getting paid much. I attribute this directly to my sessions with Leo. She has enabled me to lift the fog in different areas of my life, giving me a lot more clarity (we uncovered important events I had completely forgotten about), and consequently allowing me to get a new perspective on my current situation.
I feel so much more confident (confidence is something I had never experienced in my life), which translates into a much more positive mindset in my approach to work (which, in turn, brings me more of the type of projects I want as well as more money!).

PTSD, self-sabotage, anxiety, insomnia after emotional abuse.
It is with immense pleasure that I can testify to the high quality of Leo's work. She has achieved the feat of strength in deep-cleaning my mind thanks to her professionalism, her benevolence, her listening abilities and her beautiful human qualities. I had recently started my journey to become sober when we started our sessions. Her work has undeniably consolidated my determination to heal myself.
Session after session, we have rid my mind of negative and limiting beliefs, which had been with me for as long as I can remember, and which were causing emotional discomfort, nights haunted with nightmares and a general lack of motivation throughout my life.
After 3 sessions only, my acute anxiety linked to some family members and circumstances had evaporated. What her work has achieved in this very short time is indescribable, especially when I look at the length of time and financial commitment I have dedicated to various psychiatrists over my life with no success. Medicated for many years, I have been able to reduce the prescriptions' doses by about 30% after a few sessions only.
I am so thankful that Leo took me under her wing; her work has born fruits in a clear and tangible way: significant sleep improvement, feeling of distance towards treated issues, and being more serene and aligned with life in general. I have gained much better clarity.
I am now able to go to work without any anxiety and being more motivated, it shows in the quality of the relationships I have with my colleagues and my clients.
In a very short time, I have made immense progress and a lot more place in my life to welcome the best mindset and go forward with peace of mind.
Edit: after 10 video sessions: "I have never felt this good in my entire life".
Edit 2: Juliette felt ready to completely give up her anti-depressant and insomnia drugs. In consultation with her physician, she has stopped and has been drug-free for over 6 months.
(Important note: ALWAYS consult with your physician first prior to making changes to your medication treatment).

Leo has a natural talent. As a hypnotherapist myself, the profound experience I have lived during our session came as a complete surprise. It was wonderful.
