Lesley NanceNCPS

Lesley Nance, NCPS, offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also helps with relationship strain and family-related concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to build steady change over time.

Lesley uses straightforward talking therapy alongside techniques that involve body awareness and focused attention. She commonly combines client-centred listening with mindfulness practices and solution-focused work to help people notice small shifts that add up. She also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy for deeper emotional patterns when those are appropriate.

Sessions are paced to suit each person. Lesley aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, learn calming skills, and try new ways of relating. She balances warmth with structure, giving clear suggestions and next steps between meetings.

Her background includes nine years working in therapeutic roles and she holds NCPS as a professional credential. That experience informs a practical style that keeps everyday life in view while addressing tougher emotional material.

People who come to Lesley often want help with things like abandonment issues, attachment concerns, body image and caregiving stress. She also supports those coping with separation, communication problems, or changes linked to ageing and blended family dynamics.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what you say so you feel heard and can find your own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of big feelings.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focussed memory work. It is often chosen by people who feel stuck with traumatic memories or strong emotional reactions that talking alone hasn’t shifted.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will talk with you about goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Together you can try methods and adapt the plan as you see what helps most, keeping decisions collaborative rather than fixed.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow for a shorter check-in when days are busy. They also let you choose whether to be on camera or use audio only, based on what feels easiest for you.
