About Lesley
Lesley Nance is an NCPS-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work is relevant for young adults navigating early-adult pressures such as leaving home, starting work or study, and shifting relationships.
Lesley uses an integrative approach that draws on a few named methods. She blends client-centred listening with practical, solution-focused steps. For some clients she offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, which she uses for stuck trauma responses.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building small, doable skills for coping. She talks things through, notices how beliefs and behaviours connect, and tests simple strategies to reduce overwhelm. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and mind during stressful times.
Lesley’s offer includes hypnotherapy work where appropriate, intended to support accessing different ways of thinking and responding. She frames hypnotherapy as a tool alongside talking therapy rather than a stand-alone promise of change. She aims to pace sessions according to each person’s needs.
People who choose her often want practical steps and reflective space at the same time. Her approach suits those who want direct conversation, clear techniques, and occasional deeper trauma work with EMDR. Young adults facing transitions may find the mix relevant to everyday pressures and longer-term change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lesley uses client-centred work and EMDR as core strands of her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions; it suits general stress, relationship worries and low self-esteem. EMDR targets traumatic or stuck emotional responses by using guided processes to help the nervous system shift how memories are held and can be useful when talk alone has not resolved a problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss goals and preferences and test what fits best, combining methods if needed. This is a collaborative process where adaptations are made as therapy progresses.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into study or work days, offer quicker check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to schedule. Some methods, such as guided EMDR work, can be adapted for remote delivery, and Lesley will explain how an approach would work for you before you start.
