About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for reading my profile. I'm Lesley and I'm a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ accredited counsellor/ psychotherapist, offering short-term and long-term individual therapy to adults. I also offer personal therapy to trainees (counsellors, psychotherapists and counselling psychologists). I am currently working only by telephone or using video-calling software, such as Zoom.
It can seem daunting to seek counselling, but I truly believe it to be a positive experience and I see my role as a counsellor to facilitate that positive experience, by enabling my clients to implement the changes they seek and to restore or enhance their wellbeing.
I can offer a safe place for you to discuss and explore your issues confidentially and for us to work together as we build a strong, trusting relationship between us. I draw on my training in and experience of different counselling models to work in the way which is most appropriate to you as an individual. This may include: encouraging you to look at things from a different angle, considering coping mechanisms or developing an awareness and understanding of how your past experiences might link to the present. The counselling process is a collaboration and does require a certain level of commitment to the work involved, on both sides.
In addition, I have been offering personal therapy for trainees entering the counselling professions from Level 4 to Doctorate level since 2014. I aim to link theory to practice for trainees when appropriate.
