Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She offers a calm, grounded space for people facing life changes, low self-esteem, family conflict and caregiving pressures. Lesley works with those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties and ageing and geriatric issues, using practical tools to ease day-to-day distress.

Lesley draws on nine years of clinical experience and holds NCPS, which is stated as her professional credential. She describes an Integrative approach that brings together talking therapies, mindfulness and body-aware techniques. Sessions are paced to suit each person and focus on building coping skills and emotional regulation.

For trauma and persistent emotional blocks she offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, alongside other approaches. Lesley also uses client-centred and solution-focused methods to help people clarify goals and try small, useful changes between sessions. Hypnotherapy is another tool she may include when appropriate.

Her style is warm and structured. She offers encouragement, gentle challenge and practical strategies in the room. The work aims to reconnect people with inner resilience and to open up new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Lesley practices from the United Kingdom and works with people in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability via the Start Therapy button.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. It involves reflective conversation and practical goal-setting, which can suit issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories and stuck emotional responses. In practice it aims to help the nervous system move on from painful experiences and can support people dealing with trauma-related symptoms.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help with anxiety and stress. These exercises are straightforward to practise between sessions and can reduce reactivity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one way from the start.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity when people are travelling or living abroad. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking so you know how you will meet and schedule sessions.
