About Lesley
Lesley Nance is an NCPS psychotherapist 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. She also lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people who often put others first or feel drained by relationship dynamics.
Lesley uses a mix of talking therapies and body-focused approaches. She draws on client-centred work to prioritise the client's perspective and build clearer self-understanding. She also offers EMDR for people who have trauma or persistent emotional reactions that feel stuck.
Her approach includes mindfulness practices to calm strong emotions and solution-focused steps to try practical changes between sessions. Hypnotherapy is another option she may use to help with habits and deeply held beliefs. Lesley combines these methods in ways that aim to be direct and usable in day-to-day life.
Sessions are paced to the person. Expect a blend of reflective conversation, brief exercises, and straightforward strategies to handle triggers and set boundaries. She pays attention to how patterns of people-pleasing and avoidance show up in relationships and everyday choices.
Lesley sees the work as collaborative. She helps clients identify what they want to change, then tests practical steps to reach those goals. People looking for clear, practical ways to stop losing themselves in relationships may find this approach helpful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lesley uses client-centred therapy to keep the work focused on the person's experience. That means sessions often begin with the client's own priorities and move at a pace they find manageable. EMDR is offered as a distinct option for people with trauma or persistent emotional reactions; in practice this involves guided bilateral stimulation and processing to reduce the intensity of stuck responses.Mindfulness is used as a practical tool to notice and calm strong feelings. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can be practised in a session and repeated between meetings to help with panic, rumination or overwhelm. These approaches are presented plainly so clients can test what helps in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and together they decide what to try first based on the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is seen.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins that suit a work break, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt these methods for remote sessions to help clients manage stress, relationships and emotional regulation.
