Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes and family-related pressures, including separation, caregiving stress and blended family issues. Lesley brings a practical, hopeful approach and aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.

Lesley uses a blend of therapies to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person's own goals and pace. For people with stuck emotional responses or trauma, she offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, as an option.

Her style is warm and structured. Sessions focus on uncovering patterns, building emotional regulation skills and finding everyday tools that help. She combines talking therapies with mindfulness and brief solution-focused work to create small, achievable steps forward.

Lesley holds an NCPS credential and has nine years of experience. She describes her practice as integrative, bringing mind, body and spiritual perspectives together where that fits the person's needs. She aims to walk alongside people with gentle challenge and encouragement.

Lesley works with people across a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image and eating-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with control or codependency patterns, commitment worries and communication problems.

If someone is considering therapy, Lesley encourages a collaborative approach to pick the right methods and pace. Her way of working is practical, down-to-earth and focused on helping people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

How Lesley’s approaches translate to online work

Lesley uses client-centred work and EMDR among other approaches. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, using empathic listening and practical collaboration to build insight and confidence. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship stress. EMDR offers a structured way to address stuck emotional responses and traumatic memories, aiming to ease distress and help people move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss options and help decide what feels most helpful based on goals, needs and preferences. That decision is a shared one and can change over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and travel without extra journey time, and the ability to continue work when relocating between regions or countries. Because the biography does not list which session formats she uses, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and put therapeutic strategies into practice between meetings.
