About Lesley
Lesley works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, jealousy, parenting strain, life changes and work-related issues. Her background includes life coaching and mindfulness teaching, and she brings both practical tools and reflective work into sessions.
Sessions begin with a short initial consultation to see if the fit feels right. Lesley prefers a gentle style and listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. She encourages clients to set their own pace and priorities, and she adapts what she offers to match those goals.
People can expect a mix of talking, practical suggestions and mindfulness exercises when appropriate. Motivational interviewing-style questioning may be used to support change and goal-setting. Throughout, Lesley centres the relationship and uses clear, everyday language.
Lesley offers appointments by telephone and video. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
How Lesley’s approaches work online
Lesley uses client-centred therapy to place the person's own goals and experiences at the heart of each session. This means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, and the counsellor reflects and responds rather than imposing a plan.Her mindfulness work focuses on simple, practical exercises to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. These practices help with anxiety, emotional regulation and coping during life changes. Motivational interviewing-style techniques are used to support people who want to make changes, such as cutting down problematic behaviours or building healthier habits, by exploring readiness and small next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Lesley works collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and adjust the way she works as progress is made.
The therapist offers telephone and video appointments as stated in her biography. If you are unsure which session type will fit your routine, check the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access support from different locations.
