Lesley Nance , NCPS

Lesley Nance is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people coping with life changes and family concerns. She uses straightforward, practical work so people can feel a real difference in day‑to‑day life.

Lesley blends talking therapy with body- and mind-based practices. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasise simple skills for regulating emotion and clearer communication in relationships.

For people carrying past trauma or stuck emotional responses, Lesley includes Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, as one option. She also draws on hypnotherapy and mindfulness to address strong physical reactions and to build calm and focus.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Lesley mixes short-term, solution-focused steps with deeper work where needed. She will offer gentle challenge alongside practical exercises to use between sessions.

Lesley holds the NCPS credential and has nine years of experience. She works with adults who want to reduce overwhelm, improve relationships, or find steadier emotional balance. Sessions are held remotely for people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Approaches that work well online

Lesley commonly uses Client‑Centered Therapy to start work that is person led and respectful. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, and it works well for relationship strain, low self‑esteem and general anxiety.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as an option for people with stuck trauma responses. EMDR uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help the nervous system process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Lesley will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together the person and therapist decide whether brief, solution‑focused work, mindfulness practices, EMDR or hypnotherapy is the best path forward.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different schedules and locations.
