Lesley provides an initial consultation to make sure the working relationship feels right before continuing.

Her BACP credential is shown as BACP and reflects her professional registration. The practical aim in sessions is to help clients find clearer thinking, reduce overwhelm, and make sustainable changes step by step.
How Lesley applies approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where the client's own priorities guide each session. This approach helps when someone needs a listening ear and space to make sense of difficult feelings.Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention practices and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve emotional balance. It can be helpful for anxiety, rumination and moments of overwhelm.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. It is useful for tackling behaviours like process addictions or other habits a person wants to change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lesley will discuss goals and preferences with each client and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation over distance. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to work around work, family and travel.
