Lesley Nance
Compassionate, practical therapy for life changes
About Lesley
Lesley Nance offers practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family challenges, and coping with life changes. She is presented with the NCPS credential and has nine years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Lesley aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk about what matters most.
Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and testing new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Background and approach
She uses clear, down-to-earth language and practical strategies people can use between sessions. Her approach blends talking work with body- and mind-based methods. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused planning and mindfulness practices.
For those with stuck reactions after distressing events, she also offers EMDR, used to help process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Lesley also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate to support behaviour change and to strengthen calmer responses. She adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs, offering gentle challenge alongside encouragement.
The emphasis stays on what helps now and next. People who choose Lesley can expect a structured, compassionate process. Practical tools, short-term goals and reflective conversation are mixed so progress feels tangible.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches that suit online work
Lesley uses client-centred therapy to build a supportive, listening-based relationship where people feel heard and can explore what matters most. This approach focuses on the client's own goals and values and helps with stress, low mood and relationship concerns.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and stuck emotional reactions. EMDR can be helpful for people who continue to have strong responses after upsetting events. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and what feels manageable, then suggest options. This collaborative process means techniques are adapted to personal preferences and the pace people need.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions may suit those with lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can work for short check-ins or steady, ongoing contact. These formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy going around work, family life and travel.
