About Lesley

Lesley Nance works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and family concerns. She uses counselling alongside spiritual perspectives and practical tools to help people make changes. Lesley is registered with NCPS and has nine years of experience in practice.

She offers talking therapies that aim to identify repeating patterns and build everyday ways of coping. Lesley uses mindful awareness, solution-focused steps and client-centred conversation to help people notice small shifts that add up over time. Where trauma or stuck emotional responses are present, she offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, as an option.

Sessions typically combine reflection with practical exercises. Clients may work on emotion regulation skills, new ways to communicate, or plans for handling life transitions. Hypnotherapy is also part of the range of approaches she can use when clients choose it.

Lesley frames progress as stepwise and paced to the person. She offers gentle challenge and guidance alongside strategies to reduce overwhelm. Work focuses on what people want to change and on simple, repeatable steps to get there.

Her practice draws on nine years of clinical experience and the NCPS registration. Lesley works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Lesley uses different approaches in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on listening carefully to what matters to them; it helps people clarify goals and feel heard. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, works with traumatic or stuck emotional responses by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lesley will discuss options and help decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses. The choice is collaborative and may combine different approaches over time.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make short check-ins easier and allow people to use quieter surroundings or avoid camera use if they prefer.
