Empowering women in business to prioritise their wellbeing, navigate challenges, and unlock their full potential – because success starts with you.

At Matter Therapies, we believe that the mental health and wellbeing of women in business are not just personal priorities but foundational pillars for professional success. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment where women can explore their challenges, remove any blocks and unlock their full potential.

We celebrate the courage it takes to pursue entrepreneurship and leadership, recognising that the intersection of identities such as gender, race, and age creates a unique experience. By addressing these complexities, we aim to dismantle barriers, amplify strengths, and champion the success of women in business everywhere.

Our Services

Initial consultation

Your therapy journey with Matter Therapies begins with a 50-minute initial consultation, conducted over Zoom or by phone, for £35. This session is an opportunity for us to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and determine whether we’re the right fit to work together.

There is no obligation to continue after this session—it’s simply a space to explore your needs and see if Matter Therapies is the right place for you.


For those who value face-to-face connection, our in-person therapy sessions offer a dedicated space to explore your emotions, challenges, and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment. Rooted in an integrative approach, we blend CBT, person-centred therapy, and psychodynamic techniques to support you in navigating life’s complexities. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, burnout, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, these sessions provide a grounding and restorative experience.

Welcome to Matter Therapies – a space created to support women in business on their journey to wellness and success. My name is Gynelle Leon, and I’m an integrative counsellor and entrepreneur with a deep understanding of the unique challenges women in business face. From navigating sexism, racism, and ageism to balancing the demands of family life, the road to building a thriving business is often paved with pressures that take a toll on mental health and wellbeing.

As someone who has walked this path, I recognise the gap in support for women who are not just starting up, seeking funding, or scaling their businesses but also navigating the emotional and mental strain that comes with these challenges. I founded Matter Therapies to provide a safe, nurturing space where women can bring their whole selves to therapy, address the unique intersections of their experiences, and cultivate resilience, clarity, and confidence.

My approach integrates therapeutic techniques with real-world insight into the business landscape, helping women become their most productive, successful, and fulfilled selves.
