Leslie Milne, BACP

Leslie Milne helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make early steps less daunting for someone worried about starting therapy.

Leslie holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings 12 years of experience supporting people through loss, confidence issues and the practical fallout of separation and communication breakdowns. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a single method.

Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to a person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when unhelpful thoughts and habits need changing. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationships feel stuck or distant.

Leslie often addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and blended family challenges. She also works with problems linked to substance use, eating issues and feelings of emptiness or shame. Practical strategies are mixed with reflective conversation so people can make small, steady changes.

Taking the first step can feel big, and Leslie aims to make it straightforward. She will tailor a plan to what matters to the individual and help set clear next steps. If you want to know more about process or fit, she encourages starting with the matching questionnaire and an initial scheduled session.

How Leslie’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings or make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with depression and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and change negative interaction patterns in relationships, helping people reconnect or clarify needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether listening-focused work, practical CBT tasks, or relationship-focused sessions fit best, and this can change over time.

Please confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Online work can also let people join from different locations when schedules or commitments make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversation to work well through remote sessions, helping progress without putting extra strain on daily routines.
