Leah Larwood, Brand Language Consultant and Chief Storyteller
Hi, I’m Leah. I’m an award-winning communications strategist, psychotherapist and storyteller with over 25 years’ experience crafting meaningful narratives for brands, services and organisations across the UK, and beyond.
Find out more about how I can help…
I work in Norwich, London and online.
I’ve worked with global PR agencies to niche food, wellness and tech start-ups, plus third sector organisations and public sector bodies.
I offer something unique: a blend of skills rarely found. With 25 years of PR and communications experience and masters-level training in each creative writing (2012) and gestalt psychotherapy (2025). My approach brings a human-focused perspective to brand storytelling and corporate communications – where strategy meets psychological insight, and creativity meets empathy.
With a career spanning London, the Caribbean, and my home county of Norfolk, I bring board-level comms expertise, strategic insight, and award-winning creativity to every project.
I began my journey in PR and marketing after graduating with honours, quickly earning recognition with awards from the Chartered Institute of PR (CIPR) and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), including Young Communicator of the Year.
After serving as PR Associate Director at a leading food, health and sustainability PR agency in London for a few years, I took a year to travel the world. After this spell I relocated back to Norfolk to establish True Story in 2013, my consultancy dedicated to helping brands tell their stories with confidence, creativity and heart.
Since that time, I’ve also studied four years of gestalt psychotherapy (Masters-level) and I’m a practising psychotherapist from my clinic in Norwich. I still, however, offer communications consultancy via True Story to a range of clients.
There are three core ways I can help…
- Communications Consultancy
- Journalism & Writing
- Spokesperson, Speaker & Workshops
Real stories resonate; everything else just echoes.

Drawing from an understanding of behaviour and people, I help brands and organisations communicate in a way that feels daringly creative, unapologetically authentic and profoundly human..
