About Lesley
Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strains and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing life changes and family-related issues. Lesley works with practical steps and gentle guidance so people can start to feel different sooner.
Lesley brings nine years of experience to her work and holds NCPS as a qualification. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build sessions around each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on listening first, then offering tools to calm strong emotions and to think differently about recurring problems.
When trauma or stuck emotional responses are present, Lesley offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as an option to help people move on from painful memories. She also uses mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy to support emotional regulation and to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, practical steps that make daily life easier.
Lesley aims for an approach that feels warm and structured. She combines practical exercises with reflective conversation. The work emphasises steady progress rather than quick fixes, and sessions are paced to match what each person needs.
People come to Lesley for help with problems such as abandonment, attachment worries, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication difficulties, and separation. Her background supports people wanting both emotional relief and realistic strategies for change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so people can talk through what matters to them. Online sessions use the same core principle - the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace while offering practical reflection and support.EMDR is a method that helps reduce the emotional charge of painful memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside talking. Online EMDR can involve structured eye movements or other bilateral methods adapted for remote work and can help when trauma or stuck responses are causing ongoing distress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and stay present. These exercises can be used between sessions to manage stress and to build steady coping skills over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then suggest whether a client-centred approach, EMDR, mindfulness or a blend is likely to help. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, as formats are specified by the practitioner. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose a quieter time of day and use practices between meetings to support steady change.
