Hi, I'm Lesley. I offer a professional, non-judgemental, and confidential service to meet your individual needs. I offer a free, absolutely no obligation, 30minute, initial consultation because research has shown that one of the most important parts of counselling is the relationship between you and your counsellor, so in the initial consultation you can see if I am the right counsellor for you. I work with a very diverse range of issues, including neurodiversity, and if something is causing you to worry or feel low, whatever it might be, we can see if counselling can help you. We work at your speed, short, medium or long term

Maybe you’re feeling stuck, caught in the same patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. Maybe you’re tired of always being the strong one, or you’re worn down by that inner voice that never seems to let up. You might be wondering, when is it my turn?
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Many people aren’t sure what to expect or whether their struggles are “big enough” to bring. The truth is, there’s no minimum or maximum amount of suffering required to start therapy. We’re all a bit messy in our own unique ways and being curious about your own story, whatever it looks like, is always a meaningful place to begin.

Psychologist: Anxiety, Burnout & Trauma-Informed Therapy.
You’re not coping right now. Anxiety is loud, sleep is wrecked, and you feel overwhelmed, on edge or shut down. You might be stuck in panic, intrusive thoughts, burnout, people-pleasing, or trauma-triggered stress that’s affecting your body (tight chest, headaches, gut issues). You need support that feels safe, structured and practical—not vague reassurance. Your goal is to feel steady again: calmer in your body, clearer in your mind, sleeping better, and able to function without forcing yourself through every day.

I have never imagined and perhaps will never imagine my ideal client.
Life is such a rich tapestry of individuals, all with their own perspective, sense and grip on reality.
We all encounter troubles in many guises at certain points in our lives.
Many clients enter the therapy space often unsure how to articulate their wants & needs.
Only through the slow therapeutic process of the client's journey with me walking alongside them can we begin to piece together just where they are and where they need to be with their own gentle enquiry and my genuine curiosity & support to help facilitate growth and change.

Sometimes we can all find ourselves in a place which feels lost, stuck or intensely distressing. Maybe you're finding it hard to make a decision; old ways of coping no longer work; a close relationship is struggling. Perhaps you just don't know what's wrong, but you know something's got to change. You don't have to be alone with this. I work with, among other things, the challenges of anxiety, depression, relationships, adjustment to parenthood, family issues, illness, menopause, the aging process and bereavement. Alongside you, I bring my therapeutic presence, my experience and care to accompany you through this.

Hello! Welcome, and well done for getting here. Taking the first step to getting help is often the hardest one. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, whether they are feeling stuck and overwhelmed, in a 'funk' that they can't seem to snap out of, or for troubling emotions that are difficult to shake. You might have a clear goal of what you want to work through, such as past events or difficult challenges life has thrown, or you might not. That's ok - my role is to work with you to figure it all out

I specialise in supporting people who are finding life difficult or finding it hard to find a way forward; people with difficulties around sadness, depression, fear or anxiety, PTSD, trauma, recovering from abuse, or feeling stuck in their lives. Trauma and abuse can leave people with feelings of being alone, worthless, broken, or hopeless and helpless. People however, absolutely hold the seeds of their recovery within themselves, and with the right support and encouragement, they can start to build a better life with meaning and value. I aim to use my training, and knowledge and experience, to support people in their journey.

Counselling is one way to give attention to aspects of our lives that trouble us. I concentrate on four areas of life. The first is when we feel bewildered, lost and disorientated. Second is when we see familiar, recurring patterns in ourselves. Third is the pleasures and difficulties of being with other people. Fourth is managing emotion and mood. Ways of thinking, reacting and managing distress vary widely as do practical circumstances. The need to find courage and energy can be tough. Check my website and see if what I offer could be useful to you.

Online and face-to-face. Autistic and ADHD. Counsellor and Supervisor. I offer a safe space where you can identify any learnt messages and separate them from who you really are, not who you have become, by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through a neuro-affirmative therapeutic lens, I support you in recognising and celebrating your differences while understanding the effect of social expectations and judgements on how you view those differences. You are the expert on you, but you may have just lost your voice. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

This might relate to anxiety, low mood, trauma, loss, or major life changes, or a more general sense that something doesn’t feel right. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, explore what’s been difficult, and begin to understand yourself with greater clarity and compassion, at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
