About Lesley
Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains and life changes. She addresses family-related concerns and a wide range of issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and eating-related worries. Lesley uses straightforward language and practical steps to help people feel steadier and clearer about their next moves.
She draws on nine years of experience and works in an integrative way, combining different methods to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and finding small changes that add up. Lesley offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for people who feel stuck by traumatic or entrenched emotional responses. Her approach blends reflective listening with practical tools.
She will offer gentle challenge alongside encouragement and structured exercises when useful. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify goals and create manageable steps toward them. Lesley also brings hypnotherapy into the work when it fits a client’s needs, using it to support relaxation, habit change, and shifting perspective.
The pace is set by the person attending, with emphasis on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are conducted in English and Lesley accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability through the Start Therapy button.

How Lesley works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lesley will discuss options with each person and collaboratively decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This means trying a gentle-paced plan, revising tools, and choosing exercises that feel manageable for the individual.
Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can help people fit therapy into busy lives - for example, it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to access a therapist when living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, EMDR protocols and solution-focused tasks to be used remotely, and the therapist will explain how each approach will work in the chosen session setup.
