Lesley Nance

Lesley Nance, NCPS, is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and family concerns. Lesley also lists a focus on life purpose and related transitions. She offers a direct, practical approach for people feeling stuck or uncertain about what comes next.

Lesley uses a blend of talking therapies and body-informed methods. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns and trying out different ways of responding. She describes using EMDR for trauma-related or stuck emotional responses, and she includes mindfulness and solution-focused techniques for day-to-day coping.

People who meet her can expect a mix of reflective discussion and hands-on tools. That might include grounding and breathing practices, short experiments to test different behaviours, or focused conversations aimed at a specific problem. The emphasis is on what helps someone manage current pressure and make practical changes.

Her work is paced to the person. She aims to balance guidance and challenge so clients can build resilience and clearer thinking. Lesley notes that even a single session can offer a useful shift for some people.

Background details include nine years of practice and the NCPS credential. Sessions are conducted in English and Lesley accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lesley uses Client-Centred Therapy in a practical way, focusing on listening and responding to what the client brings. This approach helps people clarify their priorities, talk through doubts about work or life direction, and find their own next steps.

She also offers EMDR for trauma-related or stuck emotional responses. EMDR uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions and allow different perspectives to emerge.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a short test of a technique and adjusting as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setup with lower bandwidth. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising any particular outcome.
