About Leslie

Leslie Milne works on relationship and family concerns, grief, self‑esteem and depression using a person-focused approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.

She listens to what matters to each person and uses that as the basis for sessions. In practice this means discussing the issues that cause the most distress, trying small changes between sessions, and checking what helps. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than lecture style.

Leslie draws on several approaches when helpful. She uses client-centred techniques to follow the client’s agenda and build a working relationship. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Emotionally‑focused work and Imago relationship ideas are used where relationship patterns and attachment come into play.

She also integrates mindfulness skills to manage intense feelings and to build calm in daily life. Typical concerns include abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and substance or eating related problems.

Her practice is aimed at helping people make clear changes to how they think or act, and to improve how they relate to others. The focus is on straightforward strategies and steady work over time rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following the clients concerns, helping a person feel heard and able to set the agenda for sessions. It suits people who want conversational, person‑led work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses small experiments or tasks between sessions to test different ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for low mood, anxiety or unhelpful habits. Emotionally‑focused therapy (EFT) examines attachment and interaction patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they respond to each other.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will work with the client to identify goals, try suitable methods and adapt the plan as progress is made. The choice of method is collaborative and guided by what the client needs and prefers.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow straightforward check‑ins when a shorter conversation is useful. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of conversational sessions, structured CBT tasks and mindfulness exercises that clients can practise between meetings.
