The pace is set by the person in the room and the work moves at a manageable speed. Lesley has nine years of practice and holds NCPS as a listed credential. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns from attachment and abandonment issues to caregiver stress and body image.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Lesley uses client-centred therapy to shape sessions around what matters most to each person. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what comes up in conversation, and helping people notice choices that feel right for them. It works well for day-to-day worries, relationship stress and building self-esteem.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people with stuck, distressing memories or intense emotional reactions. EMDR is a structured approach that can reduce the power of troubling memories and help the nervous system move on from them. In online sessions, elements of EMDR can be adapted to work via video when suitable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and comfort with different methods. Together you will decide whether client-centred conversation, EMDR or hypnotherapy is the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and paced EMDR work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
