Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with life changes and family-related concerns, and works with a range of specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. Lesley practices in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

Lesley describes her approach as integrative, blending talking therapy with practical tools that address mind and body. She aims to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and to build small, achievable steps toward change. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with space for reflection and practical skill-building.

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and the credential NCPS. Lesley also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly known as EMDR, for people who have trauma-related or stuck emotional responses. EMDR is presented as a distinct option when it seems helpful.

She uses mindfulness techniques and brief solution-focused strategies alongside client-centred work. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit for addressing entrenched habits and unhelpful beliefs. The emphasis is on simple, everyday practices clients can use between sessions.

Lesley aims to create a warm, structured setting where insight and practical change happen together. She encourages collaboration, gentle challenge and steady encouragement so people can build resilience and move forward in their lives.

How Lesley’s approaches work online

Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what matters to you and helping you find your own solutions. This approach helps with low mood, relationship questions and building everyday coping skills.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is offered for people with trauma-related or stuck emotional responses. It uses guided attention and structured processing to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lesley works collaboratively with each person to decide whether client-centred work, EMDR or another method fits best. She adapts plans to goals, preferences and the issues brought to sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins and quieter surroundings when needed.
