Leona is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). She is also an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists (AAPi).

With a background in physical health, rehabilitation, and fitness, Leona has worked as a physiotherapy assistant, personal trainer, and Pilates instructor. This experience has fostered a strong interest in the holistic health model, particularly the mind-body connection - where thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence physical health, and physical conditions impact mental well-being. Leona is passionate about the positive role regular physical activity plays in enhancing mental health, physical wellbeing, and overall quality of life.

Leona’s work spans across the lifespan, and she takes a collaborative approach with caregivers and families to support therapeutic progress. Her warm, caring attitude is complemented by a playful, “silly” side, which helps her to build strong, trusting relationships - especially in play therapy settings.

Leona is dedicated to helping clients build resilience, particularly when navigating life changes and milestones. Leona uses evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness, to help clients reach their goals.
