About Lesley
Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with family-related issues and concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiving stress. Lesley describes her work as a meeting of counselling and a broader sense of personal meaning.
She offers a calm, structured space where people can name stuck patterns and try practical steps to feel steadier day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to suit each person and focus on small, achievable changes as well as deeper emotional work. Her approach draws on a blend of methods. Lesley uses hypnotherapy alongside client-centred listening, mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help people shift perspective and manage difficult feelings.
She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing as an option for trauma-related responses. With nine years of experience and the NCPS credential, Lesley aims to help clients reconnect with inner resources and notice change early. Conversations tend to be straightforward and compassionate, with practical tools to practise between sessions.
People who want a mix of reflective listening and hands-on techniques may find her style helpful. She works with the whole person and is attentive to both emotional patterns and everyday coping strategies.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Lesley offers hypnotherapy as a way to access relaxed focus and guided imagery, which can help with anxiety, low mood and habit change. Hypnotherapy sessions typically involve soothing guidance, breathing and imagery to encourage new ways of responding.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma-related reactions; this approach aims to reduce distress tied to specific memories by combining focused bilateral stimulation with therapeutic processing. Client-centred work and mindfulness exercises are also offered to build emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lesley will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy here is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection and guided exercises help, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use voice. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue between in-person appointments when needed.
