LAVANDULA SUPPORT
Meet Leona Phillips
I'm Leona, owner of Lavandula Support. I am passionate about supporting people to live well.
I understand what it's like to face challenges and I believe that with the right support in place, everyone can reach their goals. I want to help you thrive, whether that's in the workplace or building the skills and confidence to live independently.
My personal experiences
I didn't end up in this sector by accident. My path here comes from lived experience: as a young person facing my own challenges, living with a long term health condition myself and caring for my children who've faced their own health challenges. That lived experience is what shapes everything I do.
What I have isn't just knowledge, it's passion and understanding, built from actually having walked some of that road myself.
I want to help you thrive, whether that's in the workplace or building the skills and confidence to live independently.
I love to support others to find their way too.
Working with people
My whole career has been person centred and needs led. From many years working within the third sector, including at Barnardo's, YMCA and Epilepsy Action, to coaching other professionals and working as a job coach within the workplace. Every one of those roles has been about starting with the person in front of me, not a one size fits all approach.
That's exactly what shapes Lavandula Support. Through our work, I've been privileged to support a large number of people. That experience, on top of everything before it, is why our services are led by what our community actually needs rather than what we assume they need.
I would love to be a part of your journey.
Leona has a very kind and caring nature with service users and colleagues alike, always checking in to see how you are.
