Loss and change can leave us feeling like the rug has been pulled out from under us; our foundation feels shaky and things seem like they will never be the same (including you). When you lose someone you love through death or a relationship change, the loss is felt deeply. Other life transitions can leave you grieving and struggling in much the same way. Navigating loss and change is easier said than done, but with the right support, it's possible.

I enjoy working with themes that occur over the life span, such as: Freedom from the self-doubt or anxiety that holds you back; Relational patterns that block your ability to connect with yourself and others; Fear of change, death, living a whole life; Looking for healthy ways of growing and processing unhealed trauma and pain; Developing your intuition and listening to your inner voice; Learning how to identify your thoughts, feelings and sensations.

Lesley has spent the last 18 years working with adults and children in a number of capacities including counselling, social development and child behavioral modification.
