Leroy holds a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling and is a certified practising member of the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). He also holds a Bachelor of Social Science in Philosophy, with an interest in philosophy of mind and ethics.

Leroy began his career in youth suicide prevention, launching the peer support program Open Up in 2017 alongside the Northern Beaches-based charity One Eighty Inc. His commitment to working with young people was catalysed by the tragic suicides of two young friends, aged just 20 and 22.

Leroy volunteered as program co-creator, principal facilitator, and team leader for three years, later stepping into other leadership, training, and supervisory roles. It was in this work that he discovered his passion and calling for facilitating healing interpersonal experiences.

In addition to his therapeutic work, Leroy brings a diverse background as a facilitator and educator across the not-for-profit and private sectors. He has developed and delivered programs and training on topics including suicide prevention, interpersonal communication, relational intimacy, peer support, healthy relationships, men’s mental health, group facilitation, and mindfulness.

Finally, drawing on a decade of personal practice, Leroy enjoys sharing the psychological freedom offered by mindfulness practice. He teaches in a down-to-earth, experiential way and has experience facilitating eight-week mindfulness courses for groups and one-on-one mentoring.
