Lesley Nance, NCPS

Lesley Nance is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, life changes and family concerns. Lesley uses several approaches to support people who want practical change rather than long explanations.

She works in a direct, person-centred way that focuses on what is happening now. Sessions aim to identify repeating patterns and develop simple tools to manage strong emotions. Lesley offers EMDR for people who have trauma or stuck emotional responses and want an approach that reaches beyond talk alone.

Her style mixes talking therapies with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That can mean short exercises in session, breathing and grounding practices, or setting clear, small goals between meetings. Hypnotherapy is also available as an option for issues like confidence and body image when people find it useful.

Lesley places practical steps at the heart of the work. She helps people reframe stressful situations, improve day-to-day communication, and handle changes such as separation or caregiving responsibilities. The emphasis is on steady progress and realistic strategies that fit life at home.

People who come to her often want help with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, or coping with ageing and caregiving stress. She also works with eating and body-image issues, codependency and personality-related difficulties, using approaches that suit each person's needs.
